Ah, I see.
Where is the evidence of these claims? I have not seen any. Have you?
Originally posted by Metal BrainHave you sought out evidence of the alleged famine in North Korea between 1996 and 1998, for instance? I mean, either way - whether it did or it didn't happen - just so that you could talk online about what is happening to the North Korean people with confidence and authority?

Originally posted by FMFWhat is the North Korean Government doing to safeguard the country from another occurrence of famine ? Would you say that spending billions on building a nuclear reactor is a step in the right direction?

Who has the first responsibility to ensure the survival/development of the North Korean people
- the USA
- the UN
- the NK Govt
- the people of North Korea?

Metal Brain, in what ways do you think individuals, groups, organizations and nations should seek to bring about political change in North Korea?
Just have an understanding with them that if they use one of those weapons, it will be the last day North Korea ever sees the sun rise.
Either that, or we can try to piss them all off by embargos and no fly zones and endless dimplomatic idiocy to further enrage them.

Originally posted by FMFLet's assume people are in danger of starving in NK.

Who is to blame for NK feeling they are in danger of invasion?

South Korea?
Both?
Little green men from Mars?

Insane?
What has Kim done that shows he is not sane? Are you just making this stuff up as you go along?
Seriously. Show me something. Anything.
A sane leader does not brutally terrorize his own population.
Okay, I'm not using "sanity" as a clinical term in this context. I'm using it in the context that we don't want such an incredibly brutal regime to acquire nukes.

Insane leaders seem do be a dime a dozen in this world. Why the double standard?
By the way, NK already has acquired nukes just as China has. You must be confusing Iran with NK or something. As far as nations like Iran acquiring nukes, you should ask why Pakistan was able to acquire nukes without crippling sanctions imposed.
I have noticed that many nations that were controlled by the British Empire do not receive the kind of scrutiny as other nations that may have more independence. Do you see this as a mere coincidence?
