Kim Jong nam(?), if he had become the Paramount Leader of North korea, would likely face a coup if he tried to open up. He would need to do gradually or face a kruschevian exit or a gorbachevian exit + dissolution.

He was trying to be his own govt. The Americans trained Osama bin laden to fight the Soviets and created Al Qaeda. This man should identify as the American govt so he can never be tried for treason or war crimes.

Many who disagree with the service will suddenly go silent when asked to take the cats in. Much better than a shelter which may kill the cats if no one adopts within a certain time frame. Geez. Imagine if orphanages were run that way. "Sorry, Suzi, its been a whole month and no one's adopted you. Now hold still, it'll only hurt for a second." Sad

I wonder if people debating whether this man should have been arrested for "just asking a creepy question" would still be doing so if it were their own child involved"
Think many would just punch the man and walk off. No courts involved.
