if they've got any ya, that's what I would say , I like your thinking alot Frank ;-) We have to stop exporting these movies to these little tyrants, I mean world leaders ..first we get Saddam addicted to the Godfather trilogy and now Kim has gone over the edge watching the latest 007 movies on the sly <G> Maybe if we had Hollowood offer them some juicy supporting bit parts and some cartoons in which to star? They might forsake leading their people to more ruin and pursue different more productive careers . ;-)

just buy the damn nukes I've long felt that way, actually. I mean, go for a Agreed Framework-type deal but up the ante on both sides: agree to pay them a hell of a lot more, but only in return for absolutely iron-clad verification arrangements and compliance, and throwing in the missile program too. I scandalized some KEDO personnel at a cocktail party a few years ago by suggesting something similar; people looked at me like I had just farted really loudly or something. Basically, we Americans are simply much more comfortable using threats and punitive sanctions than incentives--just like the Europeans are the opposite. It's silly, really, because in most cases some kind of blend is the right solution, but few are predisposed to opt for that kind of soulless bottomline pragmatism... tb@ofcourse,maybeIreallydidfart,andjustmisinterpretedtheirreaction.com

Thanks for the tip about North Korean news service: >>GIs' unceasing crimes under fire Pyongyang, January 9 (KCNA) -- A GI broke a windowpane of a shop in Chunchon city, Kangwon province at the dawn of the New Year's Day and two GIs damaged a car in a parking lot on Jan. 4. In this regard Rodong Sinmun Thursday in a signed commentary says that more crimes committed by the U.S. imperialist troops in South Korea from the outset of the New Year only go to prove that they are a group of ruthless hooligans and beasts in human skin steeped in misanthropy to the marrow of their bones. Recalling that GIs find everything in South Korea disgusting and for that reason they go on the rampage, killing people, breaking and damaging things, the commentary continues: The South Koreans angered by the U.S. arrogant and insolent attitude toward the merciless killing of the two schoolgirls by GIs last year held candle-light demonstrations one after another. However, the U.S. aggressor troops are still committing one crime after another, not paying heed to the protest. This means that they do not care whether South Koreans stand outside in cold weather calling for a stop to crimes or not. GIs are brutes on whom no law works. No one can predict who and how many more people would meet the same fate this year as young Hyo Sun and Mi Son did last year at the hands of those man-hunters. A mad dog should be drubbed. << kcna.co.jp
