I'm watching 60 minutes
The preview at the beginning of the show has a North Korean girl proclaiming "north korea's students will fight with a pen in one hand and a weapon in the other until all the americans are dead"

I felt sorry for her situation, then basked in American hubris. I laughed for about a minute. It was fun...but probably dumb.

1. Those bastards use The Diary Of Anne Frank
In their propaganda, saying Americans are just like the Nazis.

When it's THEIR "leaders" who are doing what the Nazis did, including gas chambers.

3. Evil isn't confined to corporeal termination
America is ran by corporations and the politicians they buy.

Corporate America has and does things that make 9/11 look like a dream by comparison. (what's worse: living in poverty and starving to death over a period of months due to losing your job and not getting another because of corporate greed yet alone the peak oil nightmare they created out of greed, or dying fairly quickly in a car crash?)

History's never been peaceful, nor will it ever will be.

9. What's your point
Distorting and corrupting The Diary of Anne Frank is a good thing?

10. Yea her ideologue choice of vocabulary sort of reminds me of
the average Republican. When's the last time NK leaders lied their country into invading a non-threatening nation a couple thousand miles away which has thus far resulted in the death of 15,000 of that countrys innocent civilian population.


Here is what YOUR leaders are doing




Yep...no doubt...the epitome of Christian love....not at all Hitleresque.

4. Well, our administration does not help by...
starting an illegal war and all the saber-rattling they were doing with N.Korea a few months ago. No, I do not support what they are doing with Anne Frank's tragic story, but our actual foreign policy is being used to support their twisted goals.

7. Don't forget who's telling you how evil North Korea is.......
and this'll likely draw flames, and the North does have enormous problems, but we're being told mostly how bad they are, not what they need (besides new leadership) or the why of their situation. It's much more simple just to call them evil than to think about why they act that way.

11. Can't happen here?
If we aren't more strident in our opposition to Bushco we could be in a similar position as the N. Korean people. They are brainwashed and have a closed society with Authoritian Rule and Media. The present policy of the US towards N. Korea is horrible. Think about what has transpired in Iraq, Afghanistan & Haiti and our Govt.'s actions there. The US Govt. is no longer a Democracy. It is an Oligarchy. The foreign policy of the US is Imperialism and the Multi-corps are dictating what the US Govt. does. The people of N. Korea are prisoners of their Regime and the US Govt. does nothing to help them but instead puts forth propaganda that hurts them.

Their are so many problems now on the world scene and within the USA that it is quite overwhelming. Bushco is not solving problems but creating more.
