#1 "Matters became ultra-complicated because of the missile test in July as well as the nuclear test recently, which prodded various potential contributors to reconsider giving the aid. So there has been this sad and regrettable linkage between the various tests and the impact on the food situation."

Ultra-complicated? I call it 'clear'. Or maybe 'even more clear'.

Sad and regrettable linkage? You left out but obvious and necessary.

All this reminds me once again how wise our founding fathers were to make sure the people had guns, too. As much of a pain as it may seem to be at times, we are in a better position today than we would have been without them.

Although Mr Muntarbhorn credits the regime for reforming its criminal law Either a gesture trying to give the NorK government a way to save some face, or simply more moonbattery. Or maybe both.

Anybody know the definition of an egregious discrepancy? Is that related to how only Kim Jong-Ill and his family are fat and the rest of the people are emaciated?

#2 My heart pumps piss. Maybe when all of the generals' relatives are beginning to starve they'll finally off this little turd and his spawn. I guess we've got to wait for the consequences to creep up their food chain. No aid. No relief. No fucking nothing.

#3 Reminder: North Korea is France's largest importer of Cognac. Remy' is out of my budget; not Kim Jong's.

#5 Wild pitch! Lol. The Beeb is off base here. The Series is in a NL city now, so no designated hitter. I recommend you bunt. Thanks for playing.

#6 They have plenty of food for the army. Army first, people last. Sorry I hope we don't play.

#7 "His report says there are major concerns about basic issues like the right to life, the right to food and freedom of expression and religion."
Has he been using the same report for 50 years?

#8 sad and regrettable linkage
WTF!? How about sad and regrettable attempt at extortion? F*ckin' idiot useless UN.
My recommendation to the people of NorK is when you get hungry enough remember the Songun-Army First policy: eat the army first!

#10 I don't think that I have ever seen a "right to food" enumerated in international treaties. The nations of the West are compassionate and will assist people beset by a natural disaster. Communism and cults of personality, while disasters, are not natural. They are not a crisis, but ongoing manmade conditions. The basic rule is that the world is not obligated to support ongoing stupidity. Only the fecklessness of Western compassion propping up a failed system has allowed Kim Jong-il and his thugs to remain in power for so long. Western compassion has created another manmade disaster. Even if Kim were to fall, at this point, the NorKs have been so thoroughly indoctrinated that, they like the Palestinians, are beyond redemption. If you feed the animals, they come to take it for granted and lose the capability and desire to support themselves.

#13 A "right" to food? What a crock! There is no "right" to food. There is the right to be able to grow food, or to buy food if you have the money, but there's nothing sensible written anywhere that gives a person a 'right' to food. In Kim's Korea, there are only "rights" for the top echelon - the rest are considered slaves and peasants.

I guess this must be another "United Nations" "law" - like all the rest, only designed to hammer the US into giving in and supporting the rest of the world's lazy and incompetent dictators.
