There is much uncertainty about the two Koreas, but one thing that will NOT change is Korea's geography which has influenced it's course for millennia. China, Russia and Japan are its neighbors. But the whole world should be thinking of Korea as a neighbor according to Oberdorfer, and a dangerous one at that. Oberdorfer is convinced the two Koreas will one day be united. The question is how do we get from two to one.
Scenarios now being suggested are all very dangerous.
Those who know the end of the story can never know what it was like at the time. It is in our collective interest to know a lot about what the history of the two Koreas is, as that history is being created. It may well touch us all. Don Oberdorfer . . . From the Cold War to a New Era .
