Here is a line from one of her movies which seems quite appropriate here, "the person you're talking about is a real person and I think she probably deserves a little bit more consideration".

Posted in: North Korean who shopped for dictators goes public See in context
LoveUSA: "PS Maybe the dictators are disusting but traitors and reneators are worse."
I'm not sure if this comment is suppose to be sarcastic or not. But either way, it really isn't funny. The North Korean leaders have lived a life of luxury while the North Korean people have faced starvation and fear. As Kim Jong Ryul points out, the North Korean people have had to eat the bark off trees to survive. Without these so called 'traitors', the rest of world would not know what goes on in North Korea.

"I'm happy for her that she's getting back at some of the jerks who tormented her and her family, and making money in the process."
Kind of reminds me of the old saying, 'a fool and his money are easily parted.'

U.S. troop levels are at their highest level ever. http://www.nationalpriorities.org/2009/09/02/quick-facts-US-military-operations-Afghanistan
2002 5,200 2003 10,400 2004 15,200 2005 19,100 2006 20,400 2007 23,700 2008 30,100 2009 62,000 (soon to 68,000)
The Bush/Cheney administration had over seven years to complete this war. If they had focused U.S. efforts on fighting the war in Afghanistan instead of Iran, the U.S. would probably not be in its current situation, both militarily and economically.
