text: what will happen if north and south korea reconcile?  do you think this will be a very bad thing or what?   the answer would depend on what type of reconciliation is made.  if they reconcile on the basis of unification, then it would depend on whether their choice is to follow communism, which does not appear to be working too well, democracy, or any other autocratic, military dictatorship type of government.  either way, my bet is on civil war, as there are too many diehards brainwashed into thinking their way is the only way. not to mention that the us will have to become involved, and do you think we need another war on our hands?
