A German with too much time on his/her hands makes some good points about Kim Jong-il and sanctions - see the YouTube clip at DPRK Forum.

    I think that’s been around for awhile…take note that it is just as much a snub at the US as it is to North Korea, although more subtle….

    I was under the impression that it was critical of the U.S. for attacking everyone but North Korea, but I don’t speak German and maybe the translation isn’t the best.

    Same here. As you say, it could have been lost in translation.

    Yes, basically that our attacking Afghanistan and Iraq but not Korea proves that nuclear weapons are a viable deterrance against the US and hence encouraging their proliferation.

    Anyways, it’s good to see that military solutions still linger beneath the peaceful surface of German conscience.

    I guess they do have a point about nuclear deterrence, though in North Korea’s case there were already sufficient deterrents to a U.S. attack (i.e., Seoul basically held hostage, etc.).

    Anyways, it’s good to see that military solutions still linger beneath the peaceful surface of German conscience.

    Shocking! Especially considering how effective the UN is.
