Dear all,
Dictators are considered to be the natural enemies of the "clarified" western civilization, but few are as oppressive as Kim Yong Ill, undisputed leader and tyrant of the Republic of North Korea.
Every year he condemns tens of thousand of north-koreans to starvation due to his views of a perfect communist society, which we all know is just lip service since he rather prefers to live "la dolce vita" within his presidential palace's walls than to follow his own doctrine.
Not only is he aggressive within the borders of his feud, he is continuously aggressive towards the neighboring nation of Japan, undergoing permanent and ever more daring missile tests. And what to we do about it? ... absolutely nothing! We continue to play the innocent by-standers just because North Korea has nothing worthy of value and maybe because there is a permanent fear of infuriating North Korea's powerful ally and neighbor, the People's Republic of China.
What are the world leaders going to do about North Korea, now that a new decade has begun? Well ... mostly nothing, for it is better to invade unsupported fragile yet potentially wealthy autocracies than to fight a well organized army from a god forsaken land with no mineral or fossil wealth. Furthermore, an attack on North Korea would certainly trigger an escalation of the aggressive behavior of China towards Taiwan, something that the West is not prepared to deal with.
China is the ever-growing political powerhouse of the world and we, in the West, are willing to accept that even if it means the annual death of thousands of people who are unfortunate to live in China's allied oppressive states.
I'll now return to the mists and pray for the souls of those who silently die everyday just because they are considered irrelevant when compared to higher political causes.
