From the Chosun:

Former President Kim Dae-jung has urged the United States to consider lifting sanctions it imposed on North Korea last year and talking directly to Pyongyang. In an interview with the financial news service Bloomberg, Kim said Washington must lift financial sanctions on the North for the Stalinist state’s alleged money laundering and counterfeiting if there is no proof.

No proof? Has this guy been smoking dope with President Roh? You want proof? Here’s your proof, how about here, here, & here for starters? Kim Dae-jung is washed up, corrupt, and his Sunshine Policy is a failure, which means in pure Roh fashion, it is time to blame the Americans for everything in order to obscure the issue of his own failed legacy. No matter how many times he blames the US for everything wrong in Korea, one day North Korea will collapse and the horrors on the Kim Jong-il regime that will be discovered will ensure both Kim’s and Roh’s legacies are remembered as the two greatest failed presidencies in Korea’s short history in democracy.
