| Aid situation in N. Korea more desperate: U.N. report |
| 2009-09-06 |
| [Kyodo: Korea] The aid situation in North Korea has become more dire due to shortages of international aid, negatively impacted by Pyongyang"s moves to conduct more missile and nuclear tests, according to an annual U.N. report on North Korea"s human rights situation released Friday. ""Owing to the shortage of international aid, influenced doubtlessly by the reaction to the nuclear and missile tests carried out by the Democratic People"s Republic of Korea, the aid program only managed to cover less than 2 million people,"" the report said, adding the aid situation ""became more desperate."" |

| #6 Here are some links to actions being taken by North Koreans, who managed to free themselves. http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/world/photo/2009/03/18/2008035408 http://www.psywar.org/forum/index.php/topic,363.msg963.html http://articles.latimes.com/2008/dec/09/world/fg-balloons9 We should help and encourage those North Koreans, rather than this one. http://img.timeinc.net/time/daily/2009/0908/clinton_kim_0804.jpg |

| #5 You cannot impose freedom. In order for the Nork problem to be solved the Norks themselves will need to _want_ to change. Unfortunately they get a steady and heavy dose of Dear Leader (meaning Kimmie Boy and not Obama boy) personality cult. What we need to do is find some way get them free press and the truth. That is what we should be doing. That and cut the farking AID to the government which Kimmie-boy simply re-wraps as 'his' providence. We are actually aiding his personality cult. Not likely in this dictator, and commie-loving administration (or congress). |

| #4 Easy there Rammer - the Norks need to help themselves first. The agent of repression, the NORK army - comes frome the NORK people. If they are willing to see their parents and siblings starve, who are we to force them into liberty. Nork has several generations that have lived under the yoke of tyranny - from the Japanese pre-WWI, to the communists that infest it today. They do not know liberty, nor do they aspire to be free, at least by any visible means. While I have pity on them, I do not wish to see one drop of American blood shed for them, unless they begin the process themselves - toppling, or at least attempting to kill Kim would be necessary for my support. |

| #2 No, they are people, who are being killed by a band of thugs and thieves that we call a government. That we tolerate the enslavement and murder of the people in North Korea diminishes us not them, because we have the power to effect change. |
