...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. What are the chances the U.S. would allow that vessel to continue onward to Yemen?) Add to this North Korea's economic desperation?the country doesn't have the natural resources...

Much of the food grown in the U.S. has been modified with genes from other organisms. For example, some types of corn have a protein from a bacteria that kills insects. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not documented that the corn has any toxic effects in humans. Nevertheless, the absence of evidence that the corn is “safe” has led activists...
