		<description><![CDATA[So what would  you have done in 1939 or 1940?
a.) Secretly arm China?
b.) Openly Arm China?
c.) Openly declare war on Japan?
d.) Let Japan gobble up china and hope 10 or 20 years hence they do not threaten the U.S.?
After the 1895 war with China and the 1905 war with Russia, the Japanese military had victory disease.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve often disagreed with Danny, but he is 100 percent accurate here. Sanctions have never worked. At best, they&#039;ve done absolutely no good whatsoever without doing harm either. (E.g. South Africa) At worst, they have caused war. Pearl Harbor was the result of sanctions against Japan.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Think of sanctions like a successful military operation.  In particular I am referring to WW2 German military manuals.  In the manuals the German officers, who wrote them, said operations had to short sharp.  They said punch don&#039;t tickle or poke.  Do not feed your reinforcement or units in piece meal. 
I think sanction work the same way. I do not know exactly where to draw the line, but let&#039;s say this.  If your embargo is decades long, then it is a failure. The enemy will have adapted.  Much as a blogger at SOFREP.com said &quot;If you have a war over 3 years, you are just training them.&quot; (paraphrase).  
There are two ways opposite but legit ways to take on an enemy in quasi peace.  One is an embargo and the other is to smother them with kindness (business contacts, social contacts, etc).  These are contradictory but think of the opposite psychological techniques of &quot;door in the face&quot; &amp; &quot;foot in the door&quot; used in negotiating.
We could both add more to this discussion.  But to not get overly long, let&#039;s just say that 1/2 azz embargoes suck azz.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How awful. You&#039;re starving for days in North Korea, you stumble upon someone you trust with your health, you&#039;re given crystal meth and happily take it because you think it&#039;s a great new cure.



At least when they are amputating your arm without anaesthesia, you know it&#039;s wrong. This is one of the most evil things I&#039;ve ever read.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One thing is for sure. Which is the people &quot;living&quot; under communist tyranny North Korea are in great fear of the cruel and heinous communist dictator,  Kim Jong -Un. For he greatly oppresses the freedom and human rights of the people of North Korea through his ruthless and vicous Marxist police force. As for living in fear of this hideous man does bring to mind the wisdom that Benjamin Franklin printed in POOR RICHARD&#039;S ALMANACK. For it reads   &quot;Those who are feard are also hated.&quot;]]></description>
