It's unfortunate that the North Korean people probably don't realize is that the reason so many of them are starving is because of their maniacal dictator.

[SJSAMPLE]

Even the Klinton administration knew that we were just feeding their soldiers, anyway.

We've been easy on Cuba and look how long Castro's stayed in power. NO MORE DEALS!

...citing concerns that the food will not reach those who need it.

And they just figured this out? The day the aid was originally proposed (seems about a year ago now) Freepers were in near unanimous agreement about this point.

[Republican Wildcat]

The food was probably being used to feed their military.

[ozzymandus]

Why are we feeding the armies of people who are threatening us with nuclear war? We'd be better off dropping all those AK-47s we piled up in Iraq over the N Korean countryside and letting the N koreans overthrow Kim Mentally Ill.

[sure_fine]

but..but...but the NK army will starve?~!?!?!

[Rome2000]

Korean dogs will die as a result of this.

[ExcursionGuy84]

Heh-heh...If I may steal a line from a vastly-outrageous TV show and use it against the Northern Koreans:

"NO Soup for You!"

[newfrpr04]

We need to feed our own people first.

[stylin19a]

The U.N. World Food Program (WFP), which distributes foreign aid, has been ordered by the North Koreans to cut most of its staff there by the end of December, a move that will substantially reduce its ability to disburse and monitor aid shipments

If they remove the staff, remove the aid.
A page out of Mugabe plan for feeding your citizens playbook.

[Brilliant]

How many times have we done this so far?

[Muzzle_em]

I think they do realize it, but without an organized, well-armed mob, what can they do?

[TheBattman]

It's a shame it has taken this long to quit shipping food to feed the North Korean Army.

Playing nice will NEVER win the still raging cold war with NK. IT hasn't worked for Cuba, and it certainly won't work in this case.

[traviskicks]

Great news, stop proping up dictatorships!

I read an article where it stated the foreign sailors were not allowed to even set foot on land.

[dr_who_2]

Actually, I'm sure a lot of them know it, and a lot of them are in labor camps starving to death or doing everything they can to avoid being sent to the same camps.... that and hunting for fat rats.

[Grizzled Bear]

So; we're being mean and heartless denying food to those poor starving people who would be denied food and starved even if we sent it?

Just getting ready for the demo/du/progressive/liberal slant.

[Sonny M]

The people realize they are starving because of the nut case dictator they have.

They also know that they are unarmed and the military there is brutal in horrid ways.

Its not above Psycho Jong to kill people just to set an example, and a big slaughter would please him just fine.
