I'm sorry, but ... the only thing they'd be "liberating" the South from is prosperity and freedom. You can't seriously suggest that the South Koreans or anyone would be better off living under a system like that currently in place in North Korea.
Well, Kim Jong Il deviated pretty seriously from his father's path of greatness. No denying that.
That said, it's still a worker's state, and still stands strong in the face of almost universal scorn. A strength I doubt the US or any other cushy western capitalist state built on the back of the sweat and blood of third world laborers could ever attain.
The fact is, while the North Korean people have been extremely loyal and devoted to their Leaders, the South Koreans - themselves a glorious and industrious people - rose up against the US-backed dictatorial regimes set up in their homeland. And more than 80% of South Koreans wish for their homeland to reunify. So yes, my money's on the North, mate.
