Fair enough.. That's not exactly what I meant though. Obviously, the fact that North Korea has nuclear weapons is a very touchy subject. Even if it weren't people, no doubt, will have different ideas as to how the problem should be resolved and if the government should do anything about it.
When I said the group wasn't political I think I gave a decent explanation on what grounds it was not political. I also hadn't taken into account that it might actually be against someone's political convictions to help refugees.
However, North Korean refugees, if you are wondering, are nothing like illegal aliens. They don't cross the border into China just because things are kinda rough and they want to work in McDonalds. They cross the border because of EXTREME famine in the country. Furthermore one could relate this to political just as much as economic status. Perhaps moreso.
Any food that North Korea does have goes to party loyalists, those not favored by the communist party starve. Ergo, they suffer because of politcal association, ergo they ARE politcal refugees and not merely economic migrants. I don't know if you bothered to actually read the topic I posted or not, but the URL for the thread is on the page along with other information from several sights. I have also posted more information here
