LET'S HAVE A 6-NATION TALK HERE ON
THE FORUM
Forumites have just about debated every current event there is to be
debated. Pros and cons are thrown in and out, and rejected back
and forth, so many
times that only thing still appears refreshing is cursing
obscenities. So, instead of risking turning ourselves into
endless replays, let's do the real things that diplomats seems to have
a hard
time to get it done. Let's play diplomats representing the six
nations that are talking about North Korea right here on the forum.
Look, we do have an advantage over the real thing. We dont have
any mob boss to represent at home. And as for cultural and
political differences,
no
one knows better than us what a waste of time debating them can
be. But
most importantly we are an open forum -- so fairness has a chance.
I volunteer as the North Korea representative. I think as long
as some of us can have America and China covered, we can have a good
fight
on our
hands. But South Korea is also important. And Japan, if
only it
could come out America's shadow would add some reality to the
discussion. Finally any European forumite can represent the
Russians.
Let me fire the first shot. We North Koreans wants:
1. Assurance that America stops considering our being communistic is
evil.
2. We should be compensated for scrapping our abomb program with
something
equivalent but more peaceful, such as a commercial nuclear
reactor. Proposed arrangement for source of funding should come
from: 100% loan from Japan with 0% interest, to be paid back in 30
years starting the day reactor become operational. 20% of payment
should come from America as foreign aid. Similarly for
Japan. For this, American Bechtel can be the NSSS contractor and
Japanese Toshiba(Advanced BWR), the nuclear system contractor,
respectively. The rest
60% should be equally divided among the 6 nations as each's 10%
investment
in North Korea's power industry.
3. We would like to reunify with South Korea in sports, culture and
diplomacy.
4. We would consider the option of joining the Shanghai Cooperation
Organization (SCO) with an agenda to remove all foreign troops on the
Korea peninsula.
5. Finally, as a joint guesture of permanent peace in the region, the 6
nations should invest
equally in an effort to connect Japan with the Continent Asia by
a tunnel.
Now, go browse the net and then pick a nation and argue for it.
