Darwin award.

This is going to sound really harsh, but people who vacation in North Korea as if it were a normal country should have known better.

If I knew someone who took a package tour to the sunny Treblinka area in 1942 and a during a leisurely stroll through the ash-covered meadows near the camp, a guard took his head off, would I be surprised? Hell no.

What I'm angry at here are the South Koreans who insist that American hostility towards the North is somehow dated or unjustified, who insist on acting like the DRPK is just like any other country. It's not.

No... all of those Nations were RULED by the Soviet Union: they were communist (not by choice) and were not rogues.

NK, Iran, Syria, CHINA, etc. - THOSE are rogue nations; if it is undesirable to annihilate them, than the least we should do is ostracize them and make life as difficult as possible for them.

The first two things to enter my mind:

1. “Easy. You just don’t lead ’em so much.”
2. “You go now! You here four hour!”
