North Korea on hunger strike

North Korea Rejects food aid
The country that, by all reports, can barely feed itself is now denying access to the U.N. and all NGO’s that deliver food to nearly six million people. Pyongyang says North Korea has all the food it needs due to a bountiful harvest this year and has accused the U.S. of using aid as a political weapon. This move comes less than a week after North Korea refused to give up nuclear ambitions until it recieves a light water reactor.

Analysts say North Korean leaders may feel that accepting food-aid makes them appear weak, others think North Korean leaders may object to the immense amount of sampling aid agencies due to make sure their money is well spent. Personally, I think Kim Jong Il has been spending some time at day-care centers and decided that the best tactic to use against the western world is to stop eating until we feel sorry for them. Next week; North Korean negotiator promises to hold his breath until half a million tons of fuel oil are delivered.
