Where's the gratitude?

Pyongyang, August 19 (KCNA) -- An evening of resolution for independence, peace and reunification was reportedly held at Kyunghee University in Seoul on August 15 under the co-sponsorship of the People's Solidarity, the Reunification Solidarity and the Democratic Worker's Party of south Korea. Attending it was at least 15,000 people including workers, peasants, women and youth and students. Kim Hye Gyong, representative of the Democratic Worker's Party, said that a peace-keeping mechanism should be established above anything else for peace and reunification on the Korean Peninsula. All the people should turn out in the struggle against the transfer and expansion of the U.S. military bases in south Korea and the U.S. forces' "strategic flexibility" and arms build-up, the speaker urged.

Considering this is the only "news" North Korean citizens get to read... one would hope that once in a while, the K.C.N.A might mention the fact that the South Korea AND the U.S and have more than just military objectives regarding Kim's regime.
SEOUL, Aug 19 (Reuters) - South Korea has agreed to provide farming technology and to set up joint agricultural projects with North Korea to ease chronic food shortages there that stem from the communist state's beleaguered farm sector.
The meeting in the North Korean city of Kaesong was the first time the two sides had held joint agricultural talks.

And yet...
"Jong Kwang Hun, permanent representative of the People's Solidarity, stated that what the United States is mostly afraid of is independence and unity of the Korean nation rather than nukes and missiles"
Looking at an image of a "mass game", it would be hard to argue that the country is not "unified", in some form or another. The D.P.R.K has operated politically and economically "independent" of most other nations for quite some time.

For the K.C.N.A to state that the U.S regards the application of this abhorrent form of government, as the more important issue than that of the D.P.R.K's military capabillity...
I must agree.
