#1 Maybe they should lower their defence spending. If Kim cared about his people, he would capitulate.

#2 Kim will use starvation to get rid of 'suspected unloyal' classes,so this will suit him just fine.If we do send aid,that's OK too.More power to him.It's a Catch-22,NK style.

#3 Well, Mr. Hyder, what about the WPF cutting back on its' administration costs and using your own money to buy more food?

#4 Hyder may have missed the news that SK is taking care of the food donations. In the Newsday version they wrote, "Hyder said that his staff of some 40 foriegn workers couldn't confirm foriegn reports that North Koreans were eating bark to ward off hunger." I guess one reporter missed the gravity of the situation, or maybe he was serious. Hard to tell.

#5 Underweight pregnant mothers were more likely to give birth to poorly developed babies...

Reports are that such a situation has been going on for some time. Army recruits are smaller, weaker, and less physically and mentally fit.
