Hello All,

The reason those people are starving even worse than they were before, is that a Stalinist Govt. oppresses them, imprisons them, and imposes an absolutely disastrous economic system that has proven time and again to be an utter and complete FAILURE.

It is time for the Korean people to do what they can to force a change: they can either continue to die of starvation OR they can die trying to bring change to their country.

Either way, it is the CHOICE of the North Koreans, not the West.

Cheers from the Rockies

The Chinese government can prevent a catastrophe but they wont they may even support the present regime if there is a purge.
Governments you just have to love em.

What happens to all the food & aide we send to them? Surely kim ill cant be using all that to feed his army (courtesy of the US).

Does anyone think that there may be a chance that these periodic famines in north korea maybe created or abetted by Kim to gain sympathy concessions from the West. It seems kind of strange that when the north is just hungry, that's tough luck. But, you cross that magic dividing line between hungry and starving and now were all anxious to prove our humanity and highlight the difference between the two systems by giving them for free what they were willing to bargain for in the very recent past.

The last really closed communist country left, like the last stegosaurus, nobody to casually pick a fight with unless you've got a good defense against a one ton tail with a mace-like gizmo on the end of it about the size of a volkswagon beetle and covered with bigass pointy spikes, metaphorically speaking.

On the negative side of the ledger, the "Certain To Be Extinct," label keeps it stock on the 'not recommended' list. Even though it's only one negative among many assets, that one thing, the certainty that its day is gone and gone forever is natures way of saying, "You have no future." It's not that your future is bleak. It's that you literally have no future.

In the meantime our korean brothers and sisters live in unspeakable and inhuman conditions subject to the whim of an unstable lunatic who cares absolutely nothing for the masses he's supposed to be looking out for. How long, you may be assured the people of the north are crying to us in their hearts, will it be before you have mercy on the millions by killing the few who are starving the millions to death.

The West has the military means to trounce north korea in a single blow, and without nukes, any time it wants to. Why don't we? I am sure that the delighted north koreans ask themselves every morning. Because they know that if the situation was reversed, and they were the ones with the ten heavy nuclear powered air craft carriers and fleet of Boomers, B2's etc, and had about ten thousand warhe

and they were the ones with the ten heavy nuclear powered air craft carriers and fleet of Boomers, B2's etc, and had about ten thousand warheads available, that they would not be so restrained. They believe we lack the will. They do not subscribe to the notion that the restraint we show is a demonstration that we are a rational and responsible society, but rather demonstrates that we are weak willed and pathologically sentimental. What to do?
