NO. Sorry Cork. Things are MUCH better in China. South Korea and China are like Heaven compared to the hell which is NK. Something must be done.

Larry M, Sanctions will only work if China cooperates. Is China going to help keep a nuclear dictator in charge or invade them and make war like they should?

Hey everyone, get your heads out of the sand. The whole REASON why the kids are in the streets is because their entire family has been starved to death because of kimjongil. It actaully is better in Africa. You don't even know what they do, they torture whole families, put them in work camps, it is the most evil dictatorship on earth.
I am shocked how even the obvious suffering of the people would have you continue to appease a nuclear brutal dictator and keep shipping him food which only feeds his million man army and their families while literally EVERYONE else suffers and dies a slow death.
I'm so disappointed in that aspect. YOu can't just let things like this be in this day and age when we can do something about it and perhaps have world peace.
Why aren't you for people in NKorea having it as good as those in SKorea?
It would mean war, but in this case, it would absolutley be well worth it!!!

Swaggs. OK, so depleted uranium is really bad, our government should stop using it. Does that mean we will use depleted uranium in NKOrea?
Why not have china overthrow NKorean dictatorship?
Swaggs, I am not for the War in Iraq. NKorea makes prewar Iraq look like disney land.KimJongil puts saddam to shame as for as brutality goes.
KimJong is at least as ruthless and heartless as Hitler. and no one would deny we needed war with Germany, right?

Answer 1

War huh? Yeah? What is it good for. Absolutely nothing. Say it again, war huh yeah?

Answer 2

I agree with you Jane something should be done. However, please remember, Kim Jong Il is the one responsible for his people's problems. He squanders most of his country's resources by building military weapons and fielding a military too large for what his country can support.

I don't think war is the answer. I feel the best solution would be to enter into a agreement with China. China does not want our troops on the Korean peninsula and China supplies the vast majority of food and heating oil to North Korea.

And since South Korea not longer desires the presents of our troops. (I know there will be a thousand Koreans saying I am wrong. However, look at all of the protests over the past two decades; and Roh Moo hyun's administration is very much anti-US, and that position is very much why he was elected. Of course, he would not be in power if a majority of Koreans did not vote for him, ipso facto, South Korea no longer wants our troops garrisoned there.)

If we entered into an agreement with China such that they would stopped supplying North Korea food and energy and we would remove our troops after the Kim Jong Il's regime falls.

North Korea would collapse in a few months, the Korean peninsula would be re-unified; and we could bring our troops home. The whole situation could be, for the most part, resolved peacefully.

Anyone worried that we would not have a large enough presence in Asia, don't forget we still have bases in Japan.

Answer 3

This is just another pathetic pretense.

If you are so concerned about suffering, how about places like Sudan, Somalia, Chad. By your argument, does that mean we should wage war in those places as well?

If you want to call yourself an intelletual, you might want to educate yourself a bit. The death toll in Darfur is more than 10,000 a MONTH (http://www.guardian.co.uk/sudan/story/0,,1303981,00.html), with total count estimated from 70,000 to 400,000 (http://www.state.gov/s/inr/rls/fs/2005/45105.htm) and yet what does the international community do, nothing. So go spare your naive compassionate value and foucs it on the real picture of real world- when there is no political or economic interest for a nation-state to intervene in an event, nothing will be done. In case you don't know, there is cost, enormous cost, involved in waging a war. Starting a war has nothing to do with saving a helpless toddler starving on the street. So stop using your pretense of "saving everybody else in the world" as a little pretense in starting a war.

Answer 4

Ah, Communism at it's finest, yeah it's a great system. Forward this video to all those Leftys that think we should have communist society so they can see what we are in for.

The only way the stuff in that video is going to turn around is if the UN grows a pair and goes in, take Kim Jong nut job out of power, but that's not gonna happen and once again it's going to fall in our lap to do anythign, like it always does, then if we do go in to help those people you will have ******* saying we should not be at war with them, blah blah blah.

Answer 5

I want to agree with you, but a war with NK literally will invite a regional war with China. They might be mad at their client state right now, but they aren't about to let the US expand it's power in Eastern Asia. We need a Tom Clancy type scenario where a commando group sneaks in and offs the right people for "regime change".

Answer 6

We don't have the troops for a land war - only 30,000 in South Korea, and the rest are occupied. Are you proposing a bombing attack? That can't solve lack of food. You have to come up with something better than a video. That same scene could be found in many places that we can help. Darfur, thailand, indonesia, haiti, paraguay, etc... Even Houston, East LA, Miami, or DC.

Answer 7

I feel sorry for anyone who is hungry and oppressed. But I didn't do it. As A matter of fact I still carry a bullet inside my body from a North Korean. War is not the answer.
Sanctions to cripple the economy is.

Answer 8

You see things very clearly, dear lady. My compliments! The Democrats would rather pump money and other assistance in there which merely helps to further prop up the brutal regime there and thus *increases* the suffering.

Answer 9

I'm sorry. I hate the state of world just as much as anyone, but when did it become the responsibility of our nation to intrude and "fix" every other poorly functioning, or non-functioning, country? I understand your want for us to take action as the "power" we are, but why must our nation suffer for another's inability to take care of its own population? Maybe i'm cold, but we cant' do it all. We have many problems right here in the united states. Lets start home, first.

Answer 10

What's your point?
We have people that go hungry and barefoot and sit by barrel fires and beg on the streets and can't afford health care. Why should we help them when we have our own that need taking care of.
Charity begins at home.
I don't like the idea of people suffering any more than you do, but we need to take care of our own first and worry about the others later.

Yeah, yeah, I know I'll get ragged on for this, but... what can I say? It's the way I feel about it. And to each their own.

Answer 11

the best thing for north korea right now would be to have kim jong il moved to a safe place somewhere near mars

there are more than enough resources to feed these people
and theres money to be made from educating them and putting them to work

i say invade and everyone will win

but it would have to be a rush invasion 5 million troops 10 days kinda thing
