Is There a Difference?

“Because we saw so many people die, we became so used to it,” a prison camp survivor from North Korea had told the commission. North Korea, the country that had caused numerous worldwide disorders in the past, has now revealed it’s true form of a brutal state “that does not have any parallel in the contemporary world.”  The commission traced the origins of the abuses and found out they are directly related to the North Korean government. They are referring to the International Criminal Court for a possible prosecution. A letter was sent to Kim Jong Un as a warning that he might be facing prosecution for crime against humanity. The commission is censuring world leaders for not taking action in spite of knowing such a terrible incident. If you would like to read more, click here.

Nevertheless I believe America is not at a position to have the right to say such things. The actin by the commission made me think the times in the past America had supposedly “helped” other countries but ended up sowing the seeds of discord. For example, in the Vietnam war, America had many soldiers and civilians die in vain and ended up causing more chaos and damage to the country in the end. Same with what happened in Iraq and in Afghanistan. America have been doing things that aren't that much different than what North Korea is doing right now. If America is taking action about what is happening in North Korea right now, I really hope we think about it carefully so we don't repeat the mistakes we have made in the past.

What do you think America should do?
