I was told a story today by a Japanese girl I have a couple classes with, she said her roommate who is S. Korean either saw, or her friend saw some athletes from N.Korea at some games, perhaps the olympics, but they got wet from rain or something, and they had a large poster of Kim jong what's his face which also got wet, and aparently they were crying and sobing because his picture got wet, it was apparently some sort of physical representation of him to them. She said it's like they are brainwashed. I don't doubt it, if all you hear is propaganda all day long every day, you will believe it after a while. Then you start to love it, i guess.

Well, I say, we impose sanctions against them, embargo's and whatnot, but i think we should take no offensive military action whatsoever. We need to improve our image of ourselves to the world, and less offense, more defense is needed.

We could make it legal to enter the US the same way we do now, but spend the money that's going to iraq, etc. on thorough screening of every individual that passes through our gates, and require them to check in once a month if they don't plan on staying more than perhaps a year or something like that.

I don't think it'd be that hard to change things around quickly.
