North Korea Scare

I just watched part of a very interesting National Geographic. It was “Inside North Korea”. Is anyone else worried about the nuclear weapon-bearing fanatics in that country? I sure as heck am. I’m definitely gonna be reading about our presidential candidates platforms and will only consider voting for someone that’s going to deal with this.

The episode was about a South Korean doctor that was allowed into North Korea for ten days to do cataract surgery on about 1000 people and heal their blindness. For some reason that I’m not clear on, a few National Geographic people were allowed into the country and secretly filmed about North Korea.

At the end, when they removed the bandages of the previously blind people, these poor souls were praising and bowing to a portrait of their “Great General”, saying things like “We praise our great general…Our children will be faithful for generations to come…”. And then came the kicker. This old man get up and shouted to the picture in front of the newly healed thousand, “With these eyes, I will pick up a gun and kill everyone of the Americans and terminate them from the world.”

One interesting point that the article made was that North Koreans blame America for their country splitting and all the hardships that exist in North Korea. And people want to negotiate with this or allow them to have access to these weapons? I sure don’t.
