Our Ongoing War In Korea

The North Korean government yesterday threatened to exact more severe punishment against captive American Christian human rights activist Aijalon Gomes if the United States keeps pressing to censure Pyongyang for sinking a South Korean warship. North Korea's government news agency said, "if the U.S. persists in its hostile approach toward the DPRK," it will "naturally be compelled to consider the issue of applying a wartime law to him," which could include the death penalty.

Applying wartime law might make sense from North Korea's point of view because the war has never really ended. In June 2009, Pyongyang unilaterally withdrew from the 1953 agreement that stopped the fighting in Korea after conducting its second nuclear-weapons test. North Korea announced at the time that it could not guarantee the safety of foreign ships sailing near its shores, and the April 2010 sinking of the South Korean naval vessel Cheonan confirmed the point.

I agree. There are neighborhoods that you just do not visit right here. Everybody knows one. That must be the highest level of idiocy to wander into North Korea.

I’m watching Stephen King’s ‘The Stand’ on SyFy which seems more relevent. ‘Randall Flagg’ is the devil. We have a Muslim president who is destroying the US from the inside.

I watched John Ford’s “This is Korea”. I had never seen that before.
