I wrote this to the Whitehouse:
I have learned that both South Korea and USA have never made their promised commitments to North Korea. I obviously do not support North Korea's belligerent defiance, but they are desperately poor and backed into the corner. I think we should make good on our commitments, to show we as Americans have honor and integrity. We should also document clearly that we do not plot to invade them or ever use nuclear weapons on them. As absurd as it sounds, they are really paranoid. I think if we show them kindness, that we may disagree, but we support the people of North Korea, then they know, after being alienated, that USA can be counted on as a supporter and proponent of peace. We can chart a course for them, give them a little, see improvements, and give them more. The cost for us to try is next to nothing, but the cost to push to a conflict is unfathomable. If any president can earn North Korea's trust it is Obama, and if any nation can bring them out of darkness and foster the spirit of democracy, it is USA.
