The crazier thing is that it isn't pictures of the current leader, but his father. I only saw two pictures of Kim Jong Il.Quote:

It really is such a sad country. I wish there was something, anything we could do for them, but it's such a tough situation. Most of the Western world wants to help them, but of course they're taught the exact opposite, so anything we would try to do would only look like aggression or distain against the people.
My feelings are mixed about Iraq, but when it comes to North Korea, I would absolutely support taking out their government without hesitation if we could then assure the people that we did it for their sake.
I'd also, though, love to visit the country before any sort of change happened, because it would be such an amazing experience. Yeah, I'd probably be scared as hell to actually be in the country, but at the same time it'd be so worth it.
10% of their population is in the military. I wouldn't expect an invasion to look half as pretty as Iraq's did if this course of action was eventually taken.Quote:

overall, after Iraq I dont support "pre-emptive military actions" against a pre-determined "evil" country.
Then stupid ass liberals would be driving around with bumperstickers that said "No war for rice."Quote:

There are some cool and interesting pictures on there. However, some of the comentary is downright stupid. Especially that one about flat glass. These pictures seem to be really getting around the internet, and I'm not that sure why. They are not particularly shocking or anything.
