Democracy and National Security in South Korea: The Song Du Yol Affair
Kajimura Tai’ichiro, an independent Japanese journalist, human rights activist, and historian, long resident in Berlin, writes: The South Korean media pronounced him [Song Du Yol] the biggest ever catch under the web of this anti-communist law. Yet at the same time his fate was seen as inseparable from that of this legislation, so that the moment when he is eventually found not guilty is likely also to be the moment when the life of the National Security Law comes to an end.

Balbina Y. Hwang, Policy Analyst for Northeast Asia in the Asian Studies Center at The Heritage Foundation, writes: The United States has much to gain from maintaining its formal alliance with the Republic of Korea, as well as the broader bilateral relationship.

Policy Forum 05-04A: 2004 Was a Difficult Year. Will 2005 Be Any Better?
Jon Wolfsthal, deputy director for Non-Proliferation at Carnegie, writes: “North Korea’s nuclear program cannot be eliminated, then the other members of the six party talks will have a difficult 2005and beyond. Can South Korea accept a nuclear neighbor to the North and if not, what will it do to respond over the long term? This is the questions that will increasingly occupy the minds of American experts in the years to come unless 2005 surprises many and leads to a negotiated end to North Korea’s nuclear program.”

Policy Forum 05-03A: Korea: Forgotten Nuclear Threats
Bruce Cumings, history professor at the University of Chicago and author of several books on the DPRK, writes: “What was indelible about it [the Korean war of 1950-53] was the extraordinary destructiveness of the United States? air campaigns against North Korea, from the widespread and continuous use of firebombing (mainly with napalm), to threats to use nuclear and chemical weapons, and the destruction of huge North Korean dams in the final stages of the war.”
