Hey, if we as Americans are willing to send money to countries who support the Taliban and Al Queda, then why not the North Koreans. They aren't terrorists, just psychopaths. Ah! How low this country has sunken. I don't mean to sound heartless either. I'm all about helping people get on their feet. But, as a man once said, "Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
no no no, its - "Give a man a fish and he'll stink up a whole town. Teach a man to fish...See where I'm going...teach a man to fish and he'll poke yer eye out!"
I think that no human should starve, north korean or american. After all, the civilians that were born have done no wrong and pay for their governments actions. Make north korea the 51st state and give them some bail out relief supply.
I watched some movies about North Korea; apparently all food NK ever received wasn't given to civilians, they don't even know about it - for them America must be the worst enemy that was killng NK people in war in 50's and wants to make them suffer, to kill their beloved Kim and all this stuff. And food goes nowhere. There was some "interview" with a guy who escaped from NK, he was some farmer but officials ordered him to crop poppyseed so that NK can make opium with it and sell it illegally - or something like this. I don't know if it is true (and maybe it sound totally stupid because of my English which isn't good), but situation of poor villagers of NK looks scary...
It's not that no country wants to aid NK, I'm sure somewhere out there, someone wants to help the civilians there. But it's that North Korea won't accept that help, the country wants to depict this image that they're a perfect country and better than everyone else.
Compassion for NK? Hell no, would they show compassion to me if they caught me? Don't think so. But maybe there are a few countries willing to help the people of NK and not NK itself.
Originally I would say show some form of compassion for North Korea but then we the Afgahn War Diary was leaked onto the internet and this showed up While it says he found no reports. This still rubs me in the wrong way.
Compassion is what makes us human. A government should value its people the most even more than the image of a perfect country. Without people, there is no government. That's all I'll say...
Tell that to the supposed Kim Jong Ill or even Josef Staline, Staline had very little compassion and ruled with an iron fist. I wouldn't rank Kim Jong the same league as Staline, but I doubt he has compassion.
Most of North Korea's citizens are without electricity and running water. Their average wage is about $500 dollars/year. I spent that on my car last month. Kim Jong Il is a tyrant and he needs to be dealt with. Just because he's not "terrorizing" americans doesn't mean he's not a terrorist. In fact, he's the worst kind of terrorist. He deprives his own people of some of the basic necessities of life, people that pay for his lavish mansion and lifestyle. He's a hedonistic jackass and needs to be dethroned by any means necessary. Seeing as N. Korea is no real threat the the U.S., of course that's not going to happen. Neither was Sadaam, but guess what? The American govnmt. hung him. C'mon CIA, do your job and assassinate that prick!
america are not the world police. Stop getting involved in things that don't concern you. the CIA's job is to protect american interests, not interfere in other countries' business.
America would step in for sure in NK had lots of oil. Were doing it for the good of the NK people they would say.
I know perfectly well that they do, I'm saying its unacceptable, and if they push things much further they'll find themselves in hot water.
