The USSR is trying hard to change the nature of their structure now as Gorbachev is approaching far away Asian countries with friendly gestures. Gorbachev will propagate at the Seoul Olympics that his country is a friendly country and try to show peaceful gestures especially to the US. Gorbachev will suggest that the US let them have a general election for the unification of Korea. When the US receives such a suggestion, they will agree with it. Because the US knows that students, partisans and the separated families in Korea want the plan fervently, they canOt refuse to agree with it, though they may feel uneasy about it.

Here, the problem is that the US military's withdrawal has to take place first. People in Korea are in favor of the US's withdrawal nowadays. It is because the US treats Korea as a subordinate country and even interferes in the internal affairs.

Along with Gorbachev's suggestion for the general election with South and North Korea, because of the anti-America movement, the US military will have to withdraw. It is obvious that the Korean government will be in chaos when they receive a suggestion for the general election. The Democrats and the Republicans are two parties in the US and the Democrats are urging the withdrawal. They will think that the USSR's suggestion is the good opportunity to make the withdrawal from Korea with honor, so they want to withdraw.

If the candidate from the Democrats becomes president this time, it will be obvious. If the Democrat becomes president, even without the USSR's suggestion they will withdraw the military, maybe not completely but definitely part of it. After the Second World War, the US helped many countries as a part of the policy to support foreign countries for 40 years. The problem is that it will be recorded as the diplomatic failure of the US if the military withdraws because of the anti-American movement, and the influence of the US in international society will be minimized for that. However, there is no doubt that they will withdraw the military. Also, they will be optimistic about the result of the general election because the population in South Korea is twice that of North Korea.

When the USSR suggests the South and North unification plan through the general election and the US agrees with it, North Korea wonOt have any choice but to accept it. They are not powerful enough to refuse the USSR and they don't want to be isolated in the world. (May 1, 1988)

When we consider the political stances of South and North Korea, the US, Japan and China, no one wants to fight about that. They don't want to fight. For that reason, it is clear that the three countries will be combined to coach Korea to establish a unified government peacefully. We never know when it will happen. The US wants it to happen soon, Japan wants it to happen soon and China wants it to happen soon. North Korea used to have forums for discussion but they closed them out. The time will come when they have no choice but to resume the forums by the pressure of the international climate. (163-323)

Circumstances surrounding Korea are heading for unification. Except for the political relationships, in the fields of sports, culture and economy, the wall of the ideology has crumbled. Many Korean corporations are busy launching their businesses in China and the USSR, and the Eastern Europe bloc has started their full scale interchanges. Some business entities have already finalized the trade contracts.

History is changing rapidly. The time when Kim Il Sung was actively involved with the global political movement centering on the Communist countries is over. Today's world history is heading for a peaceful era. However, true peace will finally return only after the liberation. (Jan. 7, 1988)
