The best way to shake Kim Jung-Il's rule

What is the best way to shake North Korean's totalitarian regime from within? Like Berlin Wall, those regimes always worry about defection. If we can boost up the defection, North Korean will collapse from within.

But the fate of many defectors in South Korea are quite miserable. Especially for North Korean women, they are diligent and persevering. But it's hard to find a job in a new environment. Many of them have to earn their livings as a prostitute or hostess in bar. The way to improve their lives is to find them a South Korean bachelor.

Financial Times has reported a new matchmaking service in South Korea. It's a good idea, isn't it? Finally we find a better way to deal with Kim than sanctions.

South Korea said the crew on its warship had received a thank you message from the North Koreans after thwarting the pirate attack.
