There'll always be a market for slave labor, I guess. At least, this sort of thing helps insure there will be.
Follow any dem BS artist and you will collect that much in any 24 hour period.
Souns like a bulls*** story to me.
Seriously, though, why would North Korea need ANFO bombs? They have a real military--and probably nukes.

I agree. Besides, if they are really concerned about fertillizer being used to make a "bomb", then send only the diluted stuff they generally sell to the American public. I assume they are talking about Ammonium Nitrate?
I say deliver it.....with detonator caps in place and the timer set in motion!
My guess is the opium poppys are not yielding to good...
It's widely known that Kim is trying to develop a warhead capable of delivering 500,000 tons of fertilizer. He's also trying to grow nuclear power plants.
Couldn't South Korea just back up a million or so cows up to the border? I suppose if keep them on a diet of baked beans for a period prior to the manure delivery the North might be brought to their knees!
I am full of ideas like this I'd like to share with North Koreans and liberals.
Other choices come later. People flocked to dirty,dangerous 19th century factories because they believed it was still better than starving in the pre-welfare/socialist age.
What are all the sweatshop people who have NO job to buy food supposed to do after righteous indignation shut down those South American/Asian?Caribbean factories ?
Ideally, businesses would ALL insure healthy working conditions, etc.
But passing laws and edicts won't change physics,natural economics,or the human heart. We can try to curtail greed by social pressure, but I note that the Hollywood types leading the socialist chorus are not ashamed to demand MILLIONS of dollars for their acting "jobs".
Oh, please, this will just help ensure little kim's survival, by creating an apparently addicting need.
The more people in a closed society who get even a glimpse of how good life is outside that society, the sooner it will fall. And it is much easier and cheaper than directly attacking them, since that will "prove" what the fearless leader has been telling them about all outsiders being enemies.
Like china? Right...These people aren't free to choose to work for you or not! This is a reprieve for lil kim. They have no bigger enemy than their own govt. and they know it!
I was thinking more like eastern Europe....or DID we invade and nobody told me?
You think cheap labor is why the berlin wall fell? ??Those people wanted freedom, not slave wages.
Your thoughts on #11-16, please? Are we both wrong? Thanks.
No,I think a taste of/glimpse of a better life causes people to work towards that goal. You usually have to walk before you can run.
By the way, don't the socialists of the world,if not those in the U.S., have a million tons of BS they could send to North Korea?
They need to blow up some more mountains. Why blow up mountains? Peter Jennings may have the answer on his UFO special.
