"It seemed quiet..."


Okay, what seemed quiet lately? Korea? The sunshine policy? This board? Discussion about the Sunshine policy?

"So it deserves to be discussed"

Is the second it (which you've now told us is 'the issue of Korea') the same as the first it?

Do you mean:

"The issue of korea hasn't been discussed here lately"

The issue of Korea can't be quiet.

Is 'The sunshine policy' (your subject) The same as 'the issue of Korea'?
I have to assue that, since otherwise, you've used the same pronoun twice in your opening sentence without defining it. But a policy can't be quiet.

The word 'so' is causal. Does the fact WE'VE been quiet ABOUT it MAKE it 'deserve' discussion, or is it worthy of discussion on it's own?

There is so much wrong with that sentence as a form of communication. You seem stuck in the phase of development where you assume your reader is already aware of your thoughts, so it doesn't matter how you communicate them.
