Educate who? How? While you may be right about Kim's people, Kim has a huge Army to ensure his
people do as he says. As long as he keeps his generals happy, he's got the population under his
thumb.

These regimes only survive because they can perpetuate the lie.

I don't disagree with that. But, how do you educate the population to the truth? It's not as simple
as cleaning up one of Harry's lies on rec.boats.

While I was in Korea a North Korean fighter pilot defected to the south. He scared the **** out of a
lot of folks at Osan Air Base, but it was able to land. Under questioning, the pilot stated he
started thinking of defecting because of a package of Ramen soup mix he'd found on a beach. He
couldn't believe that such a thing existed.

Now, there may have been some embellishment, I don't know. But that's the word that came to the
Combined Forces Command Hq. It does demonstrate just how cut off the NK population is from the rest
of the world.
