The governor of New Mexico, Bill Richardson led a delegation to retrieve the remains of US soldiers from the Korean War. There has been great difficulty in attaining the bodies because of their location in North Korea and the tensions that have escalated between the US and North Korea due to talks of nuclear weapons and struggles in relations between North and South Korea. Now after 2 years of negotiations, the bodies have been finally be retrieved. The delegation proudly crossed the borders from North Korea to South Korea today.
i honestly love this story - it doesn't focus on the US' dealings with North Korea in terms of nuclear weapons, but instead shows that we show interest in bringing the separated states together, and how there is a possibility that after using diplomatic measures, goals could be achieved peacefully.
