Well, here goes.
Many thanks to President Clinton for his securing the release of the 2 journalists; and many thanks to those in the N. Korean Gov't who saw the wisdon of releasing the hostages and co-operating with the rest of the world. So, now people can, at least, be a little more pleased and hope upon hope that Aung San Syi Chi will also resceive mercies from her trial and be given the freedom that she so rightly deserves. She is a Burmese citizen and, because of her family history, has every right to stay in Myanmar. After all, she has been under house arrest in her own home because she won an election a long time ago but the results of that vote have never been implemented.
This release of the 2 journalists from N. Korea does, to some degree, change that country's political status in the world; I do not think that Kim-il-Sung will detonate a nuclear device but who can say what about all of those Generals who want to take over the country when he dies. This is the reason why it is not a good idea for a place like N. Korea to have nuclear weapons. It is a politically unstable place and puts the reat of the world in jeopardy. If it is only N. Korea that is at risk, while even this is morally wrong, it is a much different story that putting the whole world at risk.
So, now the State Department should try and see what they can do for all of those people who might benefit from some counsel who are locked up under circumstances that might not be the real story.
These are my thoughts for today.
