Economic Sanctions Toward North Korea Include iPods and Plasma TVs
11.29.06 (8:41 am)   [edit]

After North Korea's nuclear test a few months ago, the United States said it would respond by placing certain economic santions on North Korea.  After all the consideration, here is how the United States plans to begin its economic sanctioning process.  The Bush administration decided that it will make it tougher for the country of North Korea to buy iPods, plasma televisions, and Segway electric scooters.  The list continues with Rolex watches, expensive cars, Harley Davidson motorcycles, and Jet Skis.

Folks, you just can't make this stuff up.  This is how the U.S. is planning to sanction the country of North Korea for their nuclear test.  They defyied the world with this test, and this is how we, the most powerful country in the world, decide to punish them.

First of all, we are talking about North Korea.  A country thats form of government happens to be communism.  Everything the citizens of this country work towards goes directly to their government.  How are these people supposed to be able to buy iPods and plasma screen TV's?  They have no money for themselves.  They are not allowed to own land or make an honest dollar.

I have no problem with economic sanctions towards North Korea.  I think this is a must in order to make nuclear attempts less likely.  What I do have a problem with is the way this administration is handling it.  They are sanctioning this country with items that they can't afford in the first place.  If you are going to sanction them, lets put sanctions on items that they actually get from us and use on a daily basis.  This is common sense, but I guess this is no new coming from this administration.

you truly are a retard. the sanctions imposed are going to hurt the regime kim jung(menta li) ill, that the sanctions work. though you may believe bush is an idiot, he does have people around him who happen to be a little bit smarter than you think. you and probably a hand full of idiots actually believe the admin is trying to sanction the people of north korea.

apparently I am the only viewer of this blog that has a fully functional brain. (that includes you) WE are not hurting the people of North Korea nor do we want to. that is why we are withholding luxury items. the sanctions are meant to hurt the regime.

i dont believe in this sanctioning at all. Were any sanctions placed on US when it hit Hiro Shima and Naga Saki ? If US has the right to keep more than a 1000 warheads, why other countries be deprived of this right ?

There is a difference in the two cases though. We aren't threatening other countryies with our nucleur weapons. North Korea on the other hand is being ruled by a crazy man who wants to envoke harm on the western world.

We can't allow just any country in the world to have nukes. If we do then you'd be asking for a nuclear holocaust.
