I just watched a video done by ABC where a reporter was actually allowed in to North Korea to interview the people there. Despite knowing very little about the outside world they had extremely negative views on America.
They claimed we were evil and bad. They claimed we were nothing to them. That we caused the world pain and suffering. That North Korea is great and powerfull in comparison. Even when the news reporter tried to explain to them about our medicine, money, or technology they would just shake their head and deny it.
They didn't even seem to accept that South Korea was doing so well. It was all just praise for North Korea. That America and the rest of the world was evil. That North Korea was powerful and that we were afraid of them.
Though, despite hating America so much they were still kind to her. An old man even allowed her into his home after he got done telling her that he's glad North Korea has the bomb and that North Korea can now put pressure on the US. A young girl said she had no interest in anything that had to do with America. Whether it be art, music, and so on. But she played a game of bowling with the reporter and bowed to the reporter when she left.
It's kind of confusing. They're told we're so evil. But when someone from that evil country comes around some of them are still kind to them. Even if they hate us.
It kind of saddens me. Because if it comes to any kind of confrontation all those people, who actually look decent, will sacrifice themselves for a lie and a broken country they believe is so great. It also makes me wonder if any kind of confrontation would be wise at all. If they believe that stuff so strongly I doubt they'd change their point of view even if they saw with their own eyes that the world is alot better.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
