But if anyone thinks that will persuade the regime of Kim Jong Il to give up its nuclear ambitions, I have a dish of cold kimchi for them...

...they were astonished to find more than 900 children still alive, and the youngest was just three years old. And I'm told that a couple of the prisoners even wrote a Buchenwald song that many here sang. Among the lyrics were these: "...whatever our fate, we will say yes to life, for the day will come when we are free...in our blood we carry the will to live and in our hearts, in our hearts - faith." These individuals never could have known the world would one day speak of this place. They could not have known that some...
