SubSerpent, yes in general I believe every country should choose the system it wants. I am also leary of states comdemning other states for what they do in their borders, seems to be a case of wolves scolding wolves if you know what I mean. Still, first of all I think
individuals and NGOs (like Amnesty International) have every right to comment on and condemn what goes on in their country or others, better that they have information though, not from Fox news please. My point about more people fleeing communist states to come to the West than the opposite still stands though, I noticed you did not respond to that.
I disagree that North Korea is not a threat, to South Korea first of all (obviously not the USA)...after all the North
did try to reunify the two Koreas by force and has been behind a lot of provocations since the ceasefire in 1953. Again, look at how vibrant and active South Korea is...they went through some nasty periods under dictators as well. North Korea would only gain from letting the South help them.
Oh I never have and never will use the ignore function, if I don't like someone I just don't respond.
