This is simple for you lazy guys. Basically, North Korea has concentration camps identical to the Holocaust where they starve, shoot, torture, and gas the prisoners. These prisoners are usually whole families comprised of little children, fathers, and mothers. They did not do anything wrong but exist and are sent there for biological and chemical testing.

Believe me, if the United States could attack North Korea - it would. However, whenever a country gains nuclear power it is basically completely un-attackable.

That's the reason both Israel and the US are so terrified of Iran getting nuclear weapons - it would mean that it would be completely unassailable, as well as a grave threat to the world - just like North Korea.

Yup I know, but the thing is, the US, to my knowledge has not made any attempts to stop these atrocities. Even more strange, is that we invaded Iraq b/c we thought they had weapons of mass destruction (a.k.a. wmd's). But then, we knew North Korea was creating WMD's (they have biological, chemical, and now nuclear) and yet we did not do anything but G. Bush said, "Duh, um... I think... I think... wait do I think... Oh look its poochie... I'll be back at two, I need to play golf." OIL :shock: ! Thats why we invaded Iraq. Its also racism, no one cares about the Koreans but if its a Jew, now well there are a lot of powerful Jews in this country and its a big discussion. The Holocaust are terrible, but... THERES ANOTHER ONE GOING ON AND NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT!!

P.S. EACH CONCENTRATION CAMP HOLDS 200,000 PEOLE, JUST LIKE THE NAZIS. ALSO, LINK BELOW FOR A HEART-WRENCHING WITNESS TO THESE ATROCITIES:

If we had known that Iraq had nuclear weapons, we wouldn't have attacked. Because NK has nuclear weapons, nobody is willing to attack.

North Korea has nuclear weapons within striking range of China, Russia, and Japan. Do you realize now why it is almost impossible for the US to take military action?

I want you to answer the question, though: If Iran is on the way towards possessing nuclear weapons, do you believe that military action should be taken to attack?

Yeah I know, but there has to be a way to defend ourselves from a nuclear missle? Is there? Yeah but this pisses me off. I mean isn't there anything we can do? I mean come on, the camps are an exact replica of the Jewish death camps at Auschwitz in Nazi Germany. Doesn't that intrigue anyone that US is keeping this under a low profile? I call it political corruption.

As with every government and its people, they have flaws. I suppose, we Americans in general have flaws as well such as perhaps being wasteful. The people in the US though are well educated to know from the truth and the lies even if all American schools were rigidly standardized through the internet. Knowledge is power and we are clearly not Nazis, but we are not perfect (with political corruption and greed). Also, we would surely not have another Iraq or Vietnam because unlike Iraq and Vietnam, the oppressive government does not go around starving, beating, and raping the people. It would be a similar case scenario as that of the liberation of Holland during WWII.

I didn't call you nazis, Kim Jong Il did, and his people have been brainwashed to believe it. No matter how aweful the North Korean oppression is, they've convinced their own people that you are 1000x worse. Think of it from their point of view, it'd be like being liberated by a gang of dragons. Not like holland at all, they knew the Nazis were worse, and veiwed the Allies as heros, this is simply not the case with North Korea. If you invaded, you'd have an insurgency in a mountainous country. possibly worse than Iraq or Vietnam

For a long time it common knowledge that North Korea was in the process of building nuclear weapons; there was plenty of time for intervention. I think that the real reason that the US chose to do nothing was the fear of Chinese involvement, like in the Korean War.

I doubt they are as brainwashed as you believe. North Koreans are always sneaking into china and trying to jump tthe fences at the canadian and american ebasseys. I wouldn't count them out. They will finally get enough of that short permed **** known as Kim Jung il.

Hmm.... I don't know....

This could be compared to Iraq, where they were also oppressed before the US led invasion, even if they aren't robots... I'm sure there'd be resistance from the populace... I doubt it'd be anything less than Iraq, but maybe not that much worse... There'd probably be less ferver, but I doubt China would stand idly by. If they didn't actively resist the invasion, they'd probably supply the insurgency.

I royally doubt the american government cares about some koreans in concentration camps... they care about the nuclear capabilities.

Plus if we were to take a stance against human mistreatment... wed be after worst offenders.

well since it's Korean being killed shoudln't we let our close ally, South Korea, tell us what to do in this situation...seeing as it's their penisular and such.

On a side note if the South did wanna attack the North then I say we back them to the hilt....but I don't see that happening, seeing as it would kill thousands of Koreans, and South Korea doesn't want that. :(
