Dear Mr. President

Dear Mr. President:

I have been one of your diehard supporters since you called Kim Jong-il one of the axis of evil, because it was true. You spoke the truth. You cared about the people suffering under the worst evil that you knew and detested. I even joined the Republican Party and campaigned for you.

Things have changed so much since February 13th, when you decided to reason with Kim Jong-il through the 6-party talk. I know you were kind of forced into it. Roh Moo-hyun of South Korea undermined you every step of the way. You told Roh that you would take care of all the refugees from North Korea financially. Roh did not want to hear about the refugees. You tried to push Kim Jong-il with BDA and other measures. Roh kept pumping cold cash into the hands of Kim Jong-il. Hu Jintao of China kept repatriating the North Korean refugees. You had too much to do in Iraq. I understand all this.

However, as you spoke many times in the past, people are starving to death by the thousands everyday in North Korea. People die everywhere every day in the world? It is the worst in North Korea, and you know it. They die of starvation and they die in the concentration camps. I know you know it because you met with North Korean defectors at the White House not too long ago.

Kim Jong-il will never give up his nuclear weapons no matter what you say. I think you know that too. Kim Jong-il will never use his nuclear weapons. I think you know that too. The day he gives up his nuclear weapons or uses them is the last day of Kim Jong-il in this world. Kim Jong-il knows it. Kim Jong-il uses his nuclear weapons only to extort money from you, not South Korea. Roh of South Korea financed Kim Jong-il’s weapons of mass destruction because it was the only way to keep himself and other traitors in South Korea alive. This is the truth, and I think you know that too.

At this point, it really does not matter whether you push it off another year or two Kim Jong-il’s mad suicidal brinkmanship strategy or confront him now. What matters is that thousands of people die everyday in North Korea. What matters is that Kim Jong-il will not stop killing North Korean people. His ultimate goal is to absorb South Korea and kill South Korean people too. Why? Because he was born to kill like Hitler and Stalin.

Mr. President, please stop the genocide in North Korea. Some say that it is not genocide because Kim kills his own people. It does not matter. Killing people by the thousands and by the millions is genocide. You have the power to stop this. Only you can do it. Do not think about the politics. Think about the people. Stop all the shenanigans by Sec. Rice and Amb. Hill that they can somehow reason with the evil. Please listen to Amb. John Bolton. You have to think about the history as Lincoln did. I respect and love America because of Lincoln. Listen to him and follow him. You will save not only North Koreans but the world if you follow what you believe in. Human rights for the most oppressed!

Sincerely yours,
