Photo of Starving North Korean Little Kids!
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15818319/displaymode/1107/s/2/framenumber/10/

This picture shows starving North Korean little kids at a kindergarten in June 1997.

Very disturbing. It is also worth noting that starvation and death by starvation is a very painful and slow process.


Photos of North Korea Diverting Food Aid to Military!
http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200803/200803200018.html

These photos are proof that food aid to North Korea has been helping the North Korean military and regime and not going to the people that need it.

The North Korean regime is evil and must be taken down.

The photos of the children is sad, and yes, there are loads of starving children up there, and nothing is being done about it. I have to say though, the photos of the rice sack with the red cross on it looks completely doctored.

But seriously Dokdo is much more important than this. Get you priorities in check.

The evil Japanese believe that the rock....err....I mean island is theirs. This is where we should focus our anger and media/government attention.


Who cares about some starving kids.

How stupid were all those South Korean protesters protesting against U.S. beef when the folks in North Korea don�t even have enough food and are starving to death.

At least the South Koreans have beef, much less meat, much less food. South Koreans should stop being so picky and be happy that at least they have food, and not just any type of food, but meat, which is a luxury, and not just any meat, but the luxurious meat of beef. If South Koreans don�t want to eat American beef, then don�t buy it.

South Koreans should instead be protesting that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il is starving to death his own people.

Cool

Not that I'm downplaying the severety of the photo, but you should note that it's over 10 years old... It says there "Taken in 1997"

We should have let MacArthur finish off the Chinese and North Korean army. There is no substitute for victory.

Your lack of historical knowledge is glaring!

What's glaring is your assertion without proof.

Hi Trin, are you going to pop back in to your little Evolution debate on Off-Topic?

The USA didn't want the Soviet Union to get dragged in, which could well have happened. An invasion of China was never on, and the Chinese could have kept up the pressure for quite a while. In the end the armistice was a good result for the UN forces given the circumstances.

It's the Chinese who screwed up. If they'd known the headaches that NK would give them later, they would have stayed out.

Hello,

No I am not going to go back to that particular thread (Evolution Creation). So many times when I debate topics about the Bible 99% of the time it is me against more than one opponent. I have also debated quite a few Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Campbellites, Cathloics, Seventh Day Adventists, Unitarians etc and again it is almost always me against 2 or more. What I really enjoy is a one on one debate. This way the debate does not get sidetracked or fragmented.

Thanks for your answer. Is it true that Chinese aircraft would attack the UN troops and when we (the USA) would send our aircraft after them all they had to do was fly across the border back into China knowing that we would not go after them there?

I'm not sure if the Chinese could have kept up the pressure for quite awhile because MacArthur wanted to nuke them.

MacArthur was an arsehole, an egomaniac and nowhere near as good as his press made out. Dugout Doug; master of the media, that's all.
