Today, Secretaries Clinton and Gates met with their South Korean counterparts and visited the DMZ in Panmunjon, commemorating the 60th Anniversary of the start of the Korean Conflict (which never was a declared war). The DMZ is a narrow strip of land along the border that separates the two Koreas. The appellation is something of an oxymoron since it is heavily militarized on both sides. U.S. troops are stationed there. It is very cold in winter.
I just saw some lovely footage from today on PBS. If they make it available I will post it.
