Maybe now wondering if he's been going about this whole nuclear thing the wrong way. Surely if he just kidnapped a few dozen South Koreans and made a few beheading videos he would have the South Korean government tripping all over themself to appease (even more than they already do) the "Dear Leader". I'm sure its cheaper than trying to build a nuke program from the ground up and less likely to inflame world sentiment as we've seen from the lack of media attention. Heck he could even invite some Mujaheddin over to set up their own little enclave and give them a free hand to wreak havoc. Then just sit back and watch the food and oil shipments come rolling in...

At the same time, many people harshly criticized the suburban Seoul church that sent the group to Afghanistan and the volunteers themselves for ignoring numerous government warnings and making an ill-advised mission to an obvious danger spot.

“They did a great disservice to the government and to the people, and also disgraced the honor of the country,” said Chung Kyung-joon, a 23-year-old resident of Seoul. “They must pay a price for that.”

If we are losing our lives in war, and winning the war, the least we could do is give the people FREEDOM FROM OPPRESSION - even if that oppression comes from Islam.
