Why would we help?

So why would we help support these people?  The hungrier they get, the more they'll hate their current system right?  Isn't that how major gov/leader changes can occur?

Why would we relieve that kind of pressure of of the NK gov?

So you continue to help prop up a dictatorship by feeding their citizens so they can spend most of their GNP on their military?


And that makes sense to you?

Common Shane, of course it's easier to justify someone ELSE spending their money on something that YOU believe in.

We wouldnt be... their OWN GOVERNMENT IS!!!!  That's the point.  

The NK gov is holding us hostage with that type of thinking.

Their Govt. spends an incredible amount of money on their military because they are counting on the exact type of statements that you just made.  Those americans wont let our people starve (and if they do... we'll use THAT against them)... so hey let's spend our money on nuclear weapon development and our military.

If the NK system doesn't work and they cant feed their own people, it's up to the population to make things better for themselves instead of us just putting a bandaid on their problems.

I say we stop the shipments right on the border of international waters and demand they give up nukes and Communism.


Then tell the NK people that it's the Government holding the food back.
