From One News Now:
Carl Moeller is president of Open Doors USA, which is part of the North Korea Freedom coalition. He says the genocide there matches that carried out by some of the worst regimes of the last century.
“Today, maybe two to three million people have died in North Korea,” Moeller observes. “We know of hundreds of thousands who are literally being worked to death in labor camps, just like the ones that were in Nazi Germany and just like the ones that were in the Soviet gulag. This is a horrific reality,” he says.
I take particular interest in Moeller’s statement that, “…maybe two to three million people have died in North Korea.” In a day and age when we focus so heavily on the numbers who have died in Iraq, and use it as a ploy to erode support for the war, I find it ironic that so many more people die when we do nothing. It has been the same throughout history, and especially over the last century. War is an ugly thing, but a soldier sacrificing his life for the hope of changing the world (for the better) is not nearly as ugly as millions of men, women, and children dying for no other reason than they were born in a country run by a demented lunatic. It for this reason, despite my belief that they are quite sincere and have the best intentions, that I believe those in opposition to the war to be gravely mistaken.
