Inside a North Korean Gulag

[Kevin_Lowe]

Torture is only bad if it is done by a conservative government........apparently.

And, further, don't even DARE suggest that the regime should be violently disbanded to end the misery of the citizens, especially if the French express their disapproval of doing so.

After all, to save the people of the country from a murderous regime would be... immoral.

But don't ever suggest that the word "evil" might be applicable. That's just way out of line.

If you think that's bad, you should see what they do to straw men around here.

I don't think so. Every time there was the least indication Bush would do something about North Korea, the usual gang of idiots attacked him for being a primitive warmonger, for being simplistic for calling the NK regime "evil", for not using diplomacy first, etc., etc., etc. -- all of which amounts to, "we want whatshisname to continue to run his private gulags as long as possible."

Well, from the usual peacenik suspects, maybe. But the centrist majority in opposition to Iraq 2 were in opposition in large part because the Evil Dictator Du Jour often happens, by a startlingly lucky coincidence, to be somewhere of geostrategic interest to the empire concerned.

I wonder how many artillery-resistant underground shelters there are in Seoul. If each building had a bomb shelter, so that you are never far away from one?

Good question. However, it leaves us with the huge problem of what happens after Seoul has been leveled. Even if nobody dies, the material damage will be devastating.

Are you asserting that people did not take issue with North Korea being labeled as part of an "Axis of Evil?"

Are you attacking claims nobody in this thread made? Do you often do that?

For those actually interested in NK, there's this fascinating 14 part video on ViceTV.

Laugh, yes he is. If you think this is a problem then you have no idea how discussion boards work.

Do you often do that?

Why do you care how often he does that?


Do you take exception to North Korea being labelled part of the axis of evil?
