Comments: Although this program was recorded 14 years ago, the facts are exactly the same - the US still occupies South Korea and threatens North Korea. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission is still working for acknowledgment of the atrocities and reunification. http://www.iacenter.org/korea/skorea070608//
