I think it's pretty awful that they won't even let investigators in to see how she died:

Considering the amount of money involved and the attitudes of the deciding parties, I'd be surprised if this led to the resort getting shut down. But I do expect this will make a difference in the number of people travelling there.

I'd consider the possibility that the woman was at fault for getting shot except that they won't even let investigators in, which indicates that they have something to hide.

I realize how infrequently things like this happen, but the fact that they do at all reminds me of why I refuse to travel to countries like North Korea; any country that doesn't recognize human rights doesn't deserve tourist dollars.

and in return, South Korea blames America.

The latest reports indicate that she sneaked into the basement of the euthanasia facility at the resort, where she saw the corpses of South Korean tourists being loaded onto waste disposal trucks. She secretly hitched a ride on one of the trucks, which drove to a heavily guarded North Korean waste disposal plant. Once inside the plant, she saw how the corpses are processed into Soylent Green wafers. Nobody but the guards really knows what happened after that.

I am not trying to be symathetic to the North by any means, but honestly...how many times have you observed an ajuma having a complete disregard for any existing statutory or social constructs? Even considering that it's North Korea we're talking about, I have a hard time believing that some soldier just blew away a civilian on a whim. There's all this talk about a "poor, defensless woman" but has anyone ever thought what might have happened to the soldier had he let that woman just shuffle out of a secured military zone unscathed? As far as the North having "something to hide", would you think the South would agree to a "joint investigation" that would potentially allow the North access to a secure military facility were the circumstances reversed?
I tend to believe what we have here is a sad case of an ajuma behaving exactly as she is accustomed to in the South. Old people have no regard for police or laws here because no matter what the circumstances the police will always let them walk because they are "elders". [/url]

Here's MY apology-

Sorry your boss is an evil psycho who keeps his people brainwashed and starving.

This could have been done by an 18 year old playing with his rifle (horseplay).

It could have been a pushy ajumma who thought that "no rules apply to me."

But the bigger question is WHY are thousands of FREE South Koreans spending money to visit "Kim Jong-Il Disney Land' in the middle of a slave state?

If South Koreans are so fearing of the North, why would they even cross that line of actually going up there? Of course, it's got beautiful natural scenery, but it's not safe nor fun. I wouldn't go, because they don't deserve any tourist dollars until they can clean their act up with the corrupt totalitarian regime who just starves it's people, brain washes them, and then slaves them to produce illegal drugs to finance their government. I don't feel safe going around that sort of thing. We've all know for decades this is one of the most evil governments on Earth, but have done little about it other than keeping them in check. I said it many times over and over through the years, we should invade North Korea instead of Iraq as North Korea made many threats and are truly an evil regime. Sure the average North Korean individual may be innocent, but their leadership and country system is evil as they come.

It probably would had been a smart move for America in terms of security and international relations to have went to Korea rather than Iraq, but there isn't much financial or natural resource interests in Korea so we invaded where the oil is located.
