Supporting North Korea to be able to Kill American Servicemen

Why don't you bring that up at the next UN Security Council meeting?

"North Korea experienced a severe famine following record floods in the summer of 1995 and continues to suffer from chronic food shortages and malnutrition. The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) provided substantial emergency food assistance beginning in 1995 (2 million tons of which came from the United States), but the North Korean Government suspended the WFP emergency program at the end of 2005 and permitted only a greatly reduced WFP program through a protracted relief and recovery operation. While China and the R.O.K. had provided most of the D.P.R.K.'s food aid in the past, the D.P.R.K. has refused to accept food aid from the R.O.K. since Lee Myung-bak's inauguration. The United States began providing food assistance to the D.P.R.K. in June 2008 after establishing a strong framework to ensure that the food will reach those most in need. The United States intends to provide up to 400,000 tons of food through WFP and 100,000 tons through U.S. non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The United States also assisted U.S. NGOs in providing aid to fight the outbreak of infectious diseases following August 2007 floods, and is working with U.S. NGOs to improve the supply of electricity at provincial hospitals in North Korea.

These are the facts. Would you prefer that we just bomb them of of the face of the earth and solve the hunger problem, America feeds the world.

Boy, do you get wild. We send them food because they are an impoverished nation and would probably starve to death without it. We all know that the leaders of countries start wars, not the general population. Generally, the peasants are just trying to get along in life. They are more interested in the nation's crops then in expanding a nation's borders. The day-to-day living takes up most of their time and energy. We do not want to kill such people. We are mostly interested in good will from the world. So we send them food. As for the oil, it is needed to start manufacturing, which gives them something to protect. A small country like North Korea is not a threat without nuclear weapons. Now that they are developing nuclear weapons we have a possible threat. Try to remember that North Korea is known for it's threatening talk, with no follow through. They hope to increase the aid we are giving them through their rhetoric. We certainly aren't doing without food or oil. I, for one, get enough to eat. And so do the homeless. I was once homeless and I know. Charitable organizations get donations of food and money for the homeless and all they need to do is hook up with one of the charitable organizations. They usually can find someone who is homeless to tell them where to go. Only the paranoid seem to suffer and they often are paranoid due to drugs recreational use. There are organizations such as meals on wheels that actually go looking for the hungry homeless. Love, Peace and Wisdom.

I think we should not provide their food until they listen to us. They seem to have an unusually large army for their size. They have been skeptical of us from the start. We could show them that we mean business by enforcing those sanctions. China should not be allowed to mollycoddle them. China doesn't like the nuclear weapons in their hands any more then we do. The leader of the North seems to be a little bit crazy and who wants nuclear power in the hands of the crazy? Not me. Love, Peace and Wisdom.

A little bit crazy?

Well, ColonelSkip, a little bit crazy sounds better then calling you insane. But your last posting was pretty together. Why suggest we kill ourselves? Even in playing around that shouldn't be suggested. I take that as pretty much tongue in cheek. It is not through foolishness that we provide them with food and oil but rather through good old American Ingenuity. It gives them something to think twice about before using those long range missiles on us. North Korea probably cannot feed it's army well and that should produce some discontent among the rank and file soldiers. Discontent in a military regime is dangerous for the leader. The soldiers could riot and take over the government and I am sure that North Korea's leaders know this. They are so paranoid that they cannot trust their own people. They are constantly striving to keep the people down by not feeding them enough, that has to be what was behind the change in the food allotment. They do not want their people grateful to the United States. We are considered the big, evil enemy. How evil is feeding them going to be seen? Not very. Love, Peace and Wisdom.
