We don't think they should have their own special benefits put aside for them when they retire. They should have to receive medicare benefits just like everyone else, then maybe they will fix the system they created.

To my thoughts, the only reason N. Korea is doing what there doing is because they got a large nation "China" who is backing them. Do they actually believe that if they attack us, China will save them, because I dought that China would help them in a War, but even if they did, China will still not save them from the true world powers of America and our allies. do you find that pathetic that N.Korea hides behind China in order to get backings for test launching missiles?

Look at the issue with Palestina. They had free democratic elections and they elected the most radical party (HAMAS).
Maybe democracy wont have success in an islamic country.
Not because they are bad, only because they have another culture.
