Hi Mq: >>ACF, I think North Koreans "starving in the millions" is not accurate<< When I wrote this I was thinking of the 1997 famine. Pyongyang does not allow much access to foreign journalists, but this was fairly well documented due to the scale of the humanitarian catastrophe. Here's a recent report which contains hard data. atimes.com Apologies for being an "I told you so," but the US gets a lot of bad press for its often heavy-handed and sometimes naive attempts to do the right thing, so it's important to tell the other side of the story. The North Korean Communist regime has systematically starved its own people for what amounts to crackpot ideological reasons, and we should focus intense pressure on those bastards until they crack, which they will, even if it means raising global squeals about the US's swaggering bellicosity. Someone has to do it. Go ask an Afghan woman or girl what they think.
