The Soviets would have kept things together with spit and glue until Reagan or another R took over the presidency. How long has North Korea kept things together despite having a lot less than the Soviet Union? And with that, we understand you ideological fervor just a little bit better. And I repeat Reagan did not bring down the Soviet Union.

Because every time NK is on the verge of another mass starvation, we send them food aid. That is how they have managed to hold on. We should work with SK to overthrow the Stalinists in the North.

Judge on Morning-After Pill: No One Needs Prescription DIRECTS FDA TO SELL OVER-THE-COUNTER, EVEN TO TEENS By Mark Russell, Newser Staff newser.com Posted Apr 5, 2013 8:11 AM CDT (NEWSER) – The FDA must make the morning-after pill available over-the-counter to women of all ages, a federal judge has ruled. It's currently stocked behind the counter, and those under 17 need a prescription. The federal government has debated with itself over the morning-after pill in the past, with the FDA saying it should be available without restriction; but Kathleen Sebelius, head of Health and Human Services, overruled the FDA in 2011 and said it should be restricted for those under 17, reports the New York Times.

US Might Have Unlikely Ally Against N. Korea: China BEIJING SHOWS SIGNS IT'S GETTING FED UP WITH PYONGYANG: NEW YORK TIMES By John Johnson, Newser Staff newser.com Posted Apr 6, 2013 9:47 AM CDT (NEWSER) – American efforts to rein in North Korea have long run into one big roadblock called China, but that might be changing, reports the New York Times. New President Xi Jinping seems more receptive to working with the West to keep the North in check, as seen in Beijing's quick support of the recent UN sanctions. The development has touched off a relative frenzy of diplomacy between DC and Beijing on the subject, including a call from President Obama to Jinping, says the Times. Another sign of the shift is that China has not objected in public or private over US moves to beef up its military presence in the region amid Pyongyang's near-daily threats. “What we have seen is a subtle change in Chinese thinking,” says Kurt Campbell, a former assistant secretary of state. Beijing seems to have concluded that it's no longer worth jeopardizing its ties to the West, and its own national security, over the whims of the North.
