    No more military actions against each other, the South and North should just having dueling Accordion teams settle disputes.

      Probably because this makes North Korea look good. They didn't get this good by not following the great leader and being rebels. They are sadly "well trained" so there is no threat allowing them out to perform or tour outside of NK

    This might be the beginning of North Korea's Ping Pong diplomacy. The softening of the Soviet Union and China came first through the arts and athletics. They serve as a bridge to show we all have alot more in common than not. I feel so terrible for the millions that are starving in North Korea, the people whose lives are permanently shattered, hopefully this is the early beginning of the fall of the Bamboo curtain.
