	Asia Times - News and analysis from Korea; North and South
		Politics in Korea's last monarchy, the Chosun dynasty (1392-1910), was a vicious "winner-take-all" affair.
		Two of the biggest news stories emerging from South Korea this year highlight the country's retrograde politics: the impeachment and acquittal of the nation's leftist president Roh Moo-hyun, and the Roh administration's current proposal to establish a truth commission to unearth pro-Japanese collaborators during Japanese colonial rule.
		The persistence of the past and the absence of a genuine liberal political culture in South Korea are deeply troubling.

		South Korea’s phenomenal recovery from the 1997 financial crisis and continuing economic growth also bolster the confidence of the 20/30 generation, which prides itself in being different from its elders who had to survive years of destitution in the 1950s and the 1960s.

	South Korea - POLITICS
		The public relations campaign--roundly scored by Roh's political rivals--portrayed the former four-star general and division commander (he had helped Chun depose the army chief of staff in December 1979) as a simple, "ordinary man" who would bring about a society in which other ordinary people could live comfortably and more affluently.
		Kim's campaign used the "man of experience" theme and was structured around small meetings (especially outside his native South Ch'ungch'ong Province), some larger rallies, and carefully chosen television spots financed from the coffers of the Fraternal Association of National Revitalization and by other affluent and conservative South Koreans.
		Political cartoonists could easily make light of the latter practice, probably because it had been many years since the votes of South Koreans, even in rural areas, had been swayed by simple gifts such as a bowl of rice wine or a pair of rubber shoes.

		SEOUL, South Korea – South Korea cautiously welcomed President Bush's warning to "the world's most dangerous regimes" Wednesday, calling it a signal for North Korea to resume talks on its nuclear weapons programs.

	POLITICS-SOUTH KOREA: Frustration Rises after Impeachment Vote
		The reference to North Korea was meant as a criticism of what some say is Roh's weak position on the North's nuclear development programme.
		The impeachment - the first in South Korea's history - has triggered more fury than favour for opposition lawmakers, who control three-quarters of seats in the National Assembly, and voted on Friday by 193 to two in favour of impeachment.
		For others, what is frustrating about the political fracas is how elected lawmakers, meant to represent South Korea's citizens, are using their power without their consent - for their own political aims -- to kick out a president that majority elected in 2002.

		Honolulu, HA – North Korea is either trying once again to influence ROK domestic politics or, by pure coincidence, is trying to create an international crisis by threatening to restart its frozen nuclear reactor.
		North Korea knows that Washington-Seoul relations are currently under considerable strain, exacerbated by the continued fallout over a tragic traffic accident last June in which two South Korean teenagers were killed.
		The best way for that to happen is for North Korea to respond positively to the international community's demand to end its various nuclear weapons program and come into full compliance with its international obligations.
