		<description>Lets call him Minister of Anti-Unification.  It looks like Lee made a deal with Opposition party to keep the U of Unification by appointing someone who is very Anti-North scholar.  Wolf in charge of Sheep.</description>

		<description>I think it is pretty clear that Lee is sticking it to the Roh-ites that want to keep Uni-fiction around by appointing Nam.  If Uni-fiction does get cut that would be even better.</description>

		<description>First, before one starts slapping Nam Joo-hong on the back and congratulating him, make sure that the Unification Ministry will NOT meet its demise after all.  The uproar of the negotiations between GNP and UNDP has NOT ended.  If Lee has to start his administration with holes in the ministries, he will start it missing the Unification Ministry.

Second, if Nam Joo-hong gets the job it will be by default.  He was to be a cabinet officer without portfolio and only the negotiations to keep the Unification Ministry FORCED him into the position of being the defacto minister appointee.

Third, if the Unification Ministry does survive into the new Lee administration, Nam Joo-hong's job will be as the hatchet man to dissassemble the place and bring it down to one office with three departments -- leaving mostly administrative jobs in the place.  Then later on it will be quietly disposed of... SOB!!! SOB!!!

With bloody knife still in hand, Nam Joo-hong will smile at the DPRK negotiators and call them "brothers" and pour tea for them to have some friendly talks with the FOREIGN MINISTRY with him as an advisor -- sort of like a National Security Advisor in the US.</description>
