We have to save North Koreans

[best2002]

Communism is a revolutionary socialist movement to create classless, moneyless, and stateless social order structured upon common ownership of the means of production as well as a social, political, and economic ideology that aims at the establishment of this social order. Contrary to North Korea’s claims of being a communist nation, the leaders of North Korea live a luxurious life, while its people are starving to death. Many North Koreans struggling to survive are resorting to defection. Defectors, however, are punished severely. It’s time that the international community cooperate to resolve the human rights violations in North Korea. Human rights is a universal value that the every individual deserves.

1. We dont have to "save" anyone.

We are not the world police. You know how I know that? I grew up in East Europe.
No one saved us, we saved ourselves.

Please take your war propaganda somewhere else.

2. The US should establish diplomatic relations with N. Korea.

That would be the best way to bring about peaceful evolution. Economic development would improve the living conditions of the average citizen of N. Korea.

4. Answer these questions guy.

Just what country do you suggest, leaders don't live in luxury? It is very hard for a poor person to get elected to office without money or backing from the wealthy. So you are claiming there is no attack on the poor in this country or capitalist countries?

So what if we just lift all the sanctions, and let North Korea trade like other nations? I think it is time for certain groups to stop using human rights as an excuse for regime change. I don't think groups making this argument care anything about people, and use them as pawns. But the main question you should ask yourself, how are the leaders or top percent of North kOrea different from any other nation in the World? Are they any different than Congress or the President? And to be more specific, lets discuss the poor in Detroit and the assault by the new Republican regime in North Carolina on the poor. We can discuss it. Especially the notion, the poor needs to pay more taxes.

5. Was oil discovered in North Korea?

That's the only reason we "save" anyone. See Rwanda.

6. N. Korea is going to collapse of it's own accord, and soon, in months or years, not decades.

All of this belligerent whining is not a sign of strength and purpose, my friend, and China does not really need them any more. That time was long ago. (Like the USA, N. Korea is caught unwilling in a time that demands change.)

Still, I know it is hard to watch what is being done there.

7. There are children in the US whose only hot (sometimes the only of any kind) meal is provided

in school, and now school lunches are in jeopardy.

There are people in the US who are homeless, jobless, without medical care, and some of the programs assisting them are in jeopardy.

We have to save the people in America (U.S.).
