The WSJ had a couple of articles by a German doctor expelled from NK: http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=105001733 http://opinionjournal.com/extra/?id=90000453 Has all that aid since 1995 affected the NK government? It seems that they can simply go on grinding their people into the ground indefinitely; 13 million more doesn't look like it will make more of a difference. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
