What are are choices with N Korea?

[Siaf__csf]

wow have you been there or you have any friends overthere ?

Nope since it's a totally closed society with no personal freedom whatsoever. Would be kinda hard.

However they did let a tv-crew travel there and even tape some footage. School performances, public places and even some private home.

Even though the crew was under strict supervision at all times they still managed to tape some secret footage also.

I've also seen a few low-grade videotapes that were smuggled from NK. They show street children eating bugs from the ground.

A true example of a society.

Bomb them with food? Then Leave em alone to sort out their own mess!

Keep rattling the sabre at em and they'll rattle theirs back!

Then we can just glass over all of NK and the world and our Euro buddies will sadly sake their collective heads and say "it had to be done".

And if we lose LA or SFO.... well, double bonus round I guess. Too bad the wind blows West to East though.

Toad,
This one is a real pearl ! I've almost laught my ace off.

Well maybe, maybe not...

"South Korean sources claim that Kim Jong-Il was born on February 16, 1941, and that subsequently his "official" birth year was adjusted so as to be in harmony in terms of decades with that of his father, Kim Il-sung."

"Before his accession to power, Kim Jong-il was frequently accused of dishonesty, drunkenness, sexual excess of various kinds and even *insanity* [emphasis mine], particularly in the South Korean press. While this is not an uncommon pattern of behavior in the sons of dictators (see Vasily Stalin, Nicu Ceausescu, Tommy Suharto and Uday and Qusay Hussein), at least some of these accusations seem to have been fabricated by the Korean Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA) of South Korea.

Some of these stories, however, come from defectors from the DPRK whose accounts have some credibility."

Re: Vasily Stalin. This son of Stalin was an able Air Force general who was publicly accusing Soviet leaders of killing Stalin (which is not a far-fetched idea because Stalin was not given immediate medical help when he suffered a stroke). So Khrushchev orchestrated sentencing of Vasily Stalin to 10-year imprisonment. After spending, as far as I remember, 7 years in jail Vasily Stalin was released, his health condition not well. Khrushchev had a private talk with him, but Vasily did not seem to show much change in his views, even though he was now keeping them to himself. Vasily was sent out from Moscow into exile to a minor city where he lived under the constant KGB surveilance. And this is where he was reported as turning to the bottle, and in a couple of years died allegedly from complications connected to "alcoholism".
The official version may be just not true. It can be that the main cause of his death was slow poisoning.

I did not choose, I was forced to.
And the great country I came from is the All-greatest Don Cossack Host which has not been given the autonomous status yet by the Russian government.
But don't worry, I won't stay here for long.
The Chinese are coming !
