Reunification? No way! It's the Economy, Stupid!
Re: Seoul fears surge in refugees from North
It's a common observation that South Koreans are schizophrenic when it comes to reunification with the North. One hears a lot of talk of the "tragic division" of their homeland "at the hands of foreign powers," but there is very little desire for reunification because the economic costs are seen as too high. Conservative Korean-American Christians, on the other hand, by and large want to see a united and free Korea, a dream I share.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
