I'm not sure recently that we are being told the truth about North Korea. This place is definitely is a place where no reporters have ever dared go. Whenever there is a story about North Korea, I have always noticed that the reporters are never reporting from the actual location and that legislatures are afraid to mention it. Are we being told the actual truth about North Korea?
Unknown. I don't think our reporters are particularly welcomed there. I just saw something on the news this weekend about NK posessing or working on long-range ballistic missiles which could be the "delivery phase" of a nuclear weapons program aimed at being able to send nukes all the way to the U.S. Their Kim Jong Il seems like one unstable, rabid sunuvagun. I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him.
We hear the people are starving because of poor food production.
We hear they are spending too much money on weapon development.
We hear they are looking for some concessions from other countries that may fear their strike capabilities.
I personally do not think we have anything to fear from them, as they are surrounded by countries who would have too much to lose by their possible nuclear strikes on us.
Too many depend on us for their economic growth.
Follow the money...that's how I reach my conclusions.
As for Iran..A horse of another color. Religious fanatacism abounds there and the continuation of female domination, etc, etc. are the driving forces in that country. I think they are a huge threat to the entire world.
Sean Kelly said this in post #2 : I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him.
This was what we have said about Iraq, Libya, East Timor, Vietnam, Iran, Afghanistan, Chile, Cuba, the Soviet Union and so on and so forth. Same story, different country. Its amazing how well the Creel Commission works
