Editorial: New beginnings in Korea and Syria signal shifts
The editorial argues that the deaths of Hafez Assad and a historic Korea summit signal moves away from failed regimes. Bashar Assad may bring change in Syria, and Kim Dae Jung and Kim Jong Il's talks opened reconciliation, economic aid, and family reunions. Yet risks remain with Israel, water, Lebanon, and military standoffs. The piece urges US openness to these shifts while noting unresolved disputes and security tensions.
