North and South Korea are linked by rail again. There's very little in the way of commentary I can offer, except that it's a momentous occasion. I've seen the rail tracks in question, how both sets were kept up all the way to the actual border where a portion was removed. It's wonderful to hear and see that they've reconnected them.

Of course every step forward with North Korea seems to be followed by two steps back. Perhaps, though, the Koreas, Japan and China have managed to successfully push George Bush to the side, so that whatever he does to sabotage the current deal will be ignored and progress will continue.

Today would be a good day to be in Korea.
