I'll preface this by asking that Dear Reader (pun intended) spend a half hour on youtube or so seeing the few things that have been documented about North Korea.
The atrocities carried out amongst human beings that not only has happened but is happening now and will continue to happen, just cries out to the moral spirit in anyone.
This, during the week that Canada finishes a 12 year engagement in Afganistan -- in great true part because we had to, initially, support that cause because the American's were hell bent on going into Iraq. Well what was accomplished there? Precisely nothing? Nothing, like everyone predicted? How about Iraq? We weren't there in presence but we were nonetheless there in support.
Meanwhile North Korea goes on killing, torturing, brainwashing, disturbing....
Now, this isn't exactly "Canada's" fight, if anything it should be said it is the fight of the North Koreans to rise up and free themselves, as has happened in the births of other great democracies.
Perhaps it should be however the UN's fight? But having met and worked with a bunch of dusty diplomats I know they can't really care enough to do anything. Their recent report though should go heeded -- and surely it will , but it's own author warned that nothing will happen of it. And I'll bet he's right.
So it turns to the military who sadly are the only ones who probably would be happy to go in and give that fatty an ass whooping and open up those borders.
It's Rwanda all over again. The inaction there just left a disgrace on the UN, and closer to home, the Canadian commander in charge at the time.
We can't pretend to "not know" anymore what's going on in North Korea, so, how long are we just gonna sit around thinking "hey not my problem."
