Doug, you're being deliberately obtuse here. Clearly no one calling for reparations expects that to be the solution for North Korea or Vietnam. (It is outrageous that u.s. leftists haven't made a more consistent racket for reprations to Vietnam. We could never win them -- but some obeisance has to be paid to simple honesty and decency.)
And why in the hell should *anyone* on this list be in the business of suggesting what North Korea should do? That's ridiculous for a number of reasons. And clearly no one on this list knows a fucking thing about real conditions in NK. Yoshie seems to be the only one to have even a remote hint.
