CBS) If you want to hear "hate" coming out of the mouths of school kids, go to the schools of North Korea, as a Dutch television crew did, and you'll hear hate from that country's teenagers directed at the United States.

Western television reporters rarely get into North Korea, but remarkably they let a Dutch television crew in to see how they're using Holland's most famous book, “The Diary of Anne Frank.”

That diary, of her life in hiding during World War II, is now being studied in North Korea's schools. But Anne Frank's plea for peace and freedom got lost in translation.

“Our students will fight with a pen in one hand and a weapon in the other until the last American is dead,” adds another student.

So they'll starve to death. After all, it's the mean Americans that have been shipping free food and oil to them as humanitarian gestures. If all the Americans are dead, who's going to feed them? We help the world, and they bite the hand that feeds them. Yet we keep reaching out to help. What has Korea done for the world? Not a whole lot!

North Korea is our ally. They have always been our ally. Big Brother John will keep us safe. </sarcasm>

The North Koreans and the Democrats have the same view of George Bush's America.

What has Korea done for the world?

That entire country is a cult of personality. Whenever 'Dear Leader Kim' recieves aid, it's because of his genius and glorious leadership in manipulating the barbarian nations into surrendering aid to N Korea. Even North Korean defectors are very bellicose towards the US and have no idea how the real world works. Very few of them make it in South Korea. The ones in the North are obviously worse off and have absolutely no idea about history or anything else for that matter except for what that twisted government tells them. It's not surprising that they're manipulating history so now the Americans are the Nazis in Ann Frank's diary.

On a side note, South Korea (who should know better) also believe many of the same N Korean lies. South Korea can and should be made to defend themselves.

"When Bartelsman asked students if they could answer Anne's question, again their teacher told them just what to say: ?Why isn't food distributed everywhere? Because the imperialist bourgeoisie take it -- that's why there is nothing left for the proletariat. Just say that.?

The student?s response: ?Food is taken by the imperialist bourgeoisie, which is why there is nothing left for the proletariat."



I always wondered WHERE the NEA got their propaganda..er.. information.

So, North Korean children think Bush equals Hitler. At least those kids have an excuse of being brainwashed by a Communist government. What's the American liberals' excuse?
