   It is wrong for the U.S., with all its Nukes, to condem someone else for   
   having one or two, if that.  But the international community should have   
   been pushing to force Kim from power regardless.  This is the most evil,   
   repressive state in the world.  Kim Jung Ill is a monster.  Look at the   
   recent secret story filmed by CNN.  It shows people literly starving to   
   death in the streets, while Kim and his cronies live in luxery off of   
   black market money and counterfitting.  It shows people rushing by the   
   dead bodies because if they acknowledge the bodies, they could be   
   arrested by the police.  The Korean government controls every aspect of   
   people's lives in that wretched place.  No true communist should be   
   siding with the NKDP as it perverts everything Marx believed in.
