North Korea Again

[Carrol Cox]

In my first post on North Korea, I wrote as follows:

"All the concrete information I have seen indicates that before the
disastrous (nature-induced) famines of recent years North Korea
was doing much better than most third-world nations."

Would this not be a reasonable summary of the some 200 posts
on that thread? What third-world nation has done better?

What third-world nation especially favored by the U.S. has done
better on human rights? Haiti? Dominican Republic? Guatemala?
Brazil? Pre-Sandinista Nicaragua? El Salvador? Columbia?
Equador? Indonesia? South Korea? Kuwait? Saudi Arabia?
Harlem? South Chicago? Bronx? Peru? Bolivia? Bosnia?
Unita-controlled areas of Angola? Honduras?
