But trying not to unfortunately doesn't deter the kind of people running the NK government.

They've been kidnapping and murdering people for decades - people outside of their own country. Inside they've been brutalizing their own populace to the point where NK folks from the same family as SK folks are usually several inches shorter due to malnutrition.

It's a horrible state, to be honest. There's literally nothing good about it.

If it does get taken down (and really it should have been long ago) I just hope it can be done without too much damage to the extremely deluded civilians of the area. They never asked for this and don't deserve it.
May God stand between you and harm in all the empty places you must walk.

No, because China doesn't want us in the region. - 25/05/2010 12:20:47 AM 694 Views

The internal political dynamic in North Korea is such that they constantly need a crisis. - 25/05/2010 03:03:59 AM 677 Views
