N. Korea has been making threats to cut some of economic ventures with S. Korea and loudly condemning U.S.-S. Korea joint war game, while also refusing further humanitarian food aids from international community, probably becasue U.S. is now serious about linking food aids with progress in N. Korean human right situation. They now say they would rather want agricultural development program instead of food aids. It may be also their ploy to get all their food aids from S. Korea and China, which do not attach such strings to their aids.
Sorry to many of you whose name had been dropped from my Korea ping list for last few weeks. I was away from home, and did not carry my usual ping list with me.
I used to have a button that said:
LET THE RED B@STARDS STARVE!!!!!!!!!!!
I think that pretty much sums up my position about NK.
