About that 'Sunshine Policy'...
2002-07-02
All the economic cooperation, humanitarian assistance, and brotherly goodwill we have given the North Korean regime has been under the name of the sunshine policy. The belief was that because of this, the Northern regime would start to change. What we've received in return, however, has been well-aimed artillery.

Not only is the North refusing to talk about the matter at Panmunjom, it is asserting that the South fired first, and that it was therefore given no choice but to take action in response. It's the answer we're getting from Kim Jong Il, the chairman of the North’s National Defense Commission, who once said that he found President Kim to be "someone I can talk to, and so is someone in whom I have great trust." From whom is the current government going to get that "apology" and "assurance" that it’s not going to happen again from?
