First Kerry, now...

N Korea endorses Roh's party in South's poll, calling on voters to "'totally bury the pro-US conservative parties including the Grand National party [GNP] and the [Millennium] Democratic party,' and help the 'pro-reunification candidates win in the election'".

It is helpful to remember that in Korean politics, "pro-reunification" means being in favor of propping up the North Korean regime so that it does not collapse and thereby postponing reunification. Being labelled anti-reunification means that you want to avoid any support for the North Korean regime and hope for its people to someday have freedom and food, and reunification with the South.
