#1 Those imperialistic capitalists really have no shame at all. Now they try to bribe the heroic Korean people.
Of course the bribes will be destroyed... by the upper Party members.

#2 Why are we doing this? It must be some bureaucrat trying to prop up Kimmie.

#3 They forgot the other half of the story: Kimmie-boy transfers 50,000 Tons of food worth of funding to nuclear weapons / missle research

TGA - the problem is that Kimmie-boy will simply relabel the food (as being provide by Kim-the-savior) and use it to prop up his personallity cult. That is if it gets beyond the military.

#6 WE can afford to play nice with the Norkies, as long as everyone realizes that its doubtful Dubya will tolerate the NK and Iran NucDev situations much longer.

#7 Given the current state of affairs and the history, I think this is a mistake. There is no future for lil Kim left to his own devices. The PDRK is a dismal economic and agricultural failure. That's not going to change anytime soon due to the nature of the government. He's not going to survive a military conflict if initiated and the best he can hope for with peaceful reunification (as if it could ever happen) would be an uneasy exile (not an option for somebody now enjoying near god status) or prison. Humanitarian aid is all fine and wonderful but is it really doing anybody much good to help Lil Kim keep his throne by buying him time, however limited. Does anybody really expect them to honor any material concessions given through talks?

#8 It's like giving a heroin addict a dollar to buy 'food'.

#9 This is just more Bushitler unilateralism. The cowboy fÃ¼hrer should give the money to the U.N. to disperse so that:
1.) The UN can claim credit.
2.) The EU can claim credit.
3.) The representatives of the above organizations will have the appropriate 5 star restaurant in Poyngyang to discuss how to solve the starvation problem and blame the White House cowboy for the problem.
