North Korea’s Agitation


North Korean Missiles
          Obama visited Seoul on Friday, April 25, on news that North Korea may be testing nuclear weapons. Seoul is the capital of South Korea, which is, officially, still at war with North Korea.

            I consider CNN’s coverage of this story a bit inadequate, considering that they did not get more opinions from the North Korean side of the argument (it is a bit skewed in favor of South Korea). Then again, North Korean opinions are most likely extremely hard to get since they are very backwards (in my opinion).

            I think that Obama is doing the right thing going to South Korea to pressure the North Koreans that their actions will not stand. Obama stated that North Korea is the “most isolated country in the world”, and he should send a message to them that aggressive acts such as testing nuclear weapons will not be tolerated in the present day.
However I believe he and the South Korean President could do more to stop North Korea from continuing to oppress her people and stop her from doing such blatantly aggressive actions.

I believe that instead of just visiting South Korea, Obama should try and contact Xi Jinping, China’s president, and make sure that he will not ally with North Korea, and then America should, along with other western countries, stop the oppressive regime strangling the North Korean people. Look at what North Korea is doing, they are going to test nuclear weapons, and America is worried about Iraq having nuclear weapons? I think that a North Korea with nuclear weapons would be much more volatile and dangerous. America and South Korea should stop North Korea before it begins to ruin the lives of more people than its own.
