Reason is that, yes, we should provide food for the poor people that is starving and suffering under the North Korean cruel regime, and......no, we shouldn't send aids and food over there since most of it is just distribute to the upper class and the military and with the leftover be handed to the rest of the populations (to Pyongyang mostly).

North Korea fallen? That will be a great event to see. NK is so weird and backward, totally behind in technology, infrastructure, social culture, and among many other things. I would rather see Korea united under a pro-democracy government. DOWN WITH NORTH KOREA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yaaaayyyy!!!!!

The North will be a permanently depressed area relying on handouts--but cheabol profits will rise! The GDR was much more powerful than N. Korea, in some ways S. Korea too, but the FRG destroyed the GDR industry to prevent competition and gain captive markets. S. Korea is much poorer, and unification would be a permanent budget strain.

I look for every opportunity to unite the free democratic Koreans in the south, and around the world, at a level equal to or greater than the unity achieved during the 2002 World Cup, centering on the Hong-ik in-Gan (HiiG) principle and philosophy of unification and world peace. The recent G20 summit, for example, was an opportunity to unite all the Korean people and strengthen “Koreanness”, the most powerful tool for world peace the Korean people possess. Koreanness makes Korea a superpower. HiiG, which translates into English as Devotion to the Welfare of Humankind, makes Korea a moral superpower when put into practice through constant acts of public service. When every Korean man, woman and child devote themselves to the welfare of humankind and to world peace, the world will help bring peace to the Korean peninsula. ilovehiig@yahoo.com SKYPE: prof.tim Practice national unity in the south before unification with the north.

I want to ask anyone who is embracing the philosophy of communism that is this the best of what communism has to offer? The theory of communism is the by-product of selfish, arrogant, and delusional thinking on the part of people who mistakenly aligns the communism with an imaginary utopia, while insisting that they can think and decide what is best for their fellow men without ever considering a basic human nature and its natural instinct. Since the communism lacks the moral foundation, it is not surprising that it is devoid of capaciaty to evaluate and consider such an elementary cognitive process of what is humanbeing and what motivates an individual in pursuit of happiness. To see a destructive end-point of this grand experiment of communism displayed for all the world to see,, there is no doubt in my heart that it is ostensibly a failure in grand scale, judging by the even modest empirical model of evidence stacked against it. So, let us ponder and mull at the miserable failure of the communism and learn from it, so no one has to waste time, energy or intelligence in chasing an imaginary utopia, which only exists in the minds of delusional thinkers like Karl Marx and others like him. After all, we only live once and a very short one at that. North Korean Economy Watch » More DPRK loggers reportedly running away:

Now to Joeching, have you forgotten who has backed those unruly mob of Korean communist sympathizers, who in trying to establish a communist regime in Korea, has committed a unspeakable atrocities to their own citizens during the raging Korean War. It was China, with its own hidden agenda of spreading communism in the Asia, came to the aid of those bunches of ignorant , uneducated thugs, who murdered and mutilated their own country men at will and all under the banner of all-mighty communism. My parents and their friends, who've gone through the Korean War, are living witnesses to what the U.S. and its allies have sacrificed to keep a part of a Korean Peninsula free from the oppressive communism. Let the history speak and learn from it. Oh and while you're at it, please compare North and South Korea, which country would you rather be in? I dare you to answer it--truthfully, of course. Best way to learn from the history is to acklowledge it truthfully, no matter how ugly, painful, or distasteful a particular history might be so that no one has to repeat the same mistake again.
