...starving and impoverished people by flagrantly appealing to this hysterical world view. And these theories have been put into violent practice: North Korea launched an aggressive war in 1950, regularly kidnapped foreign nationals and is already a force in the global drug and arms trades. (Imagine if a shipment of Scud missiles was intercepted coming from Iraq, as a North Korean shipment was in the Indian Ocean last December.
