#3 But the Bush administration acknowledged it would be good if the aid had a positive impact on nuclear negotiations,..

Stupid idea. The reward is supposed to be thrown to the dog AFTER he does the trick, not before.

#4 So what are we giving them, long grain brown rice or Lucky Charms? Makes a difference, ya know.

From last year, IIRC, the Norks were down a million tons, so this is a PR pittance.

#6 This should be genetically modified grain so that the green moonbats can howl about it and give us an excuse to let them starve. North Korea will not be self-sufficient in the foreseeable future. Feeding them just delays the ultimate result. These people are beyond redemption. No one who has come of age in the lunatic asylum that is North Korea can be peacefully integrated into any recognizable form of civilization. Let them starve now or kill them on the battlefield later, sooner or later Kim Jong-il's legions are going to have to die.
