			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> North Korea for many today is a country that is not known very well. Even among many in the Humanitarian field, getting help to people in this distant country is difficult. We know so little about it, yet we know it is a dangerous country. How do we know this? For one, many politicians have said it. The next thing we must do is ask ourselves do we believe them? After all if they are a dangerous country, a missle heading towards Alaska is not a very long way to travel. </p>
<p>As the nations watch on, North Korea does its flip-flops on the nuclear issue. Within this breach of trust we find China and <a href="http://www.Aboutjapan.info">tourist services</a>Japan alongside South Korea wondering what is going on in North Korea and what their intentions are. From the American standpoint, we do not trust them. For the North Koreans we are a hostile nation that has invaded other nations. </p>
<p>They really believe we would invade them. On the one hand this nation needs more money, all the while they are building up nuclear stockpiles and pleading for the understanding of the international community. </p>
