   I would like to be happy about this, but in reality all it probably means is that another nutty, dictatorial Kim will see to it that the brainwashed, oppressed, starving North Koreans stay brainwashed, oppressed, and starving, and that Iran and other hostile states continue to receive NK’s help.

   I hope I’m wrong.

   You’re not.

   If you look at the countries with rampant famine, disease, poverty, etc. the vast majority of the time, the problems are caused by their government.

   Not just the majority of time but 100% of the time. There are other issues, of course. Like the climate and food growing conditions, but it is the corrupt governments who take any foreign aid and build more palaces. Any aid gets confiscated by the government.

   On December 19th, 2011 at 9:20 am, There is something very disturbing about Hilary Clinton.

   Happ, I noticed that too over th elast 6 or 8 months. I think here hairstyle is (in her mind) supposed to give her that old school feminist thing, Bella Abzug-ish.. and her monotone she probably thinks lends gravitas, she’s never stopped hoping for the big seat formerly occupied by her hubby (and no, I’m not referring to Monica). No doubt Shrillary would ike Humma at her lap in chains like what’sher face in Star Wars with Jabba the Hut… unfortulately thanks to Andy’s Weiner dalliances Humma is history… poor Cankles…

   What will his son be like? No one knows much about him. It’s hard to be known when your Father wants all the glory for himself.

   Will he now be unleashed?

   Damn, I wasn’t thinking low-brow enough!

   Now, if you had said french-fries, I would’ve flashed on Kevin Klein shoving french-fries up Michael Palin’s nose in ‘A Fish Called Wanda’.

    The leader, reputed to have had a taste for cigars, cognac and gourmet cuisine, was believed to have had diabetes and heart disease.

    So he went from being Kim Jong Ill to Kim Jong Dead.

    Hey, Kim, when you see Teddy, please give him our “regards.” You can’t miss him. He’s the fat guy who is perpetually driving an Oldsmobile off a bridge

    and swimming to shore by himself.

    Oooh Osama, no wonder they didn’t want to show your death picture. That must have been a very powerful gun. You probably needed that like a hole in the head.

    Another example pointing to our own Kim Jong Il in the WH. That’s not a Christman tree on the WH lawn, it’s an Obama tree.

    Forgive me, but why would a government want to starve their people? Logically, I can almost understand it, however, materially I cannot. It makes no sense to kill their slaves, so to speak. Who would do the work? I cannot wrap my mind around this kind of behavior. The government is cruel, dysfunctional, powerful, and tyrannical. What more do they want, and why? I just don’t get it, and it boggles my mind. Perhaps there is something there I don’t see.

    You keep them weak, they have a tougher time rebelling. Keep them starving, and you keep them dependent on what little you provide. Make sure they have problems, and use those problems to bolster support for yourself against some enemies that you blame for the problems (e.g. It’s America and S Korea’s fault you’re starving! I’m trying to help you!) Couple all of the above with lifelong brainwashing, and you’re pretty much set. When you’ve got millions under your thumb, you don’t really care if some of them, or even a bunch of them, die.

    And as other posters say, the humanitarian tragedy catches the eye of the rest of the world and they focus on that. Rather than the other behind-the-curtain insidious things the government is doing, like top-of-the-line counterfeiting, and helping hostile Muslim states advance their weapons capabilities.

    State run media does not let the rest of the world know how many died or how they died. They don’t even let their own citizenry know they died. And anyone who asks or sticks their nose in it will soon suffer the same fate.

    That’s the point of state run media. They control the information, every bit of it. Stalin killed millions to implement communism. So did Mao.

    But of course, He is our Obamessaiah, the prince of peace(prize), after all. There can be no other.
