			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.columbia.edu/cu/history/fac-bios/Armstrong/faculty.html">Charles K. Armstrong</a>, Professor of Korean Studies at Columbia University, discusses the heavily militarized Korean DMZ and disputed borders that make North/South conflicts unavoidable; how the N. Korean bombardment was a response (justified or not) to provocative S. Korean war games; how US interference &#8211; including a significant military presence in the South &#8211; hobbles reunification talks; Seoul&#8217;s risk of annihilation by an artillery barrage from the North and why N. Korean dictator Kim Jong-il is not nearly as crazy as Western media would have us believe.</p>
