I'd be worried more about being hit by North Korean machine gun fire. I can't believe our society creates such hippie idiots. Hopefully they end up doing hard time in an NK work camp.

I won't take issue with your belief that they are hippies and idiots. However, your hope that they wind in a NK work camp...do have any clue how very much worse of a person that makes you than any idiot, hippie or person hoping for peace? I would rather be surrounded by hippies and idiots dude. Truly.

Yesterday on a article on this trip I made the comment that some people believe these women are being used as pawns of the nK propaganda machine - this story today confirms that belief.........
So she wants the USFK Commander to provide "security assurances" for both sides, i.e., guarantee that the nKoreans won't suddenly start mowing people down........that is beyond crazy.
And our good friends the nKoreans just today stated they possess "mini nukes" and have no qualms about using them - which is more "Orwellian, insane or cruel"?

I don't see them as stupid. How effective this will be is a good question, but if it can play a part in making NK lighten up, it can only be positive.
Hippies and idiots? Not in my opinion.

This is just a pr stunt that NK hopes to use to their advantage. As Stalin said, useful idiots.

doing this stuff with NK is waste of time. although if it does yield positive results they could go to syria or Iraq neext and walk from one end of the Caliphate to the other......

Just open your small mind to understand the oppressive system of N. Korea and instead visiting their prison camp, idiots.

Not hippies. Not idiots. Dreamers. Idealists. Women! Peacemakers ...

Must have been those MINES I was talking about.

More interesting to me, at least, is where will they enter No.Korea.

Kapuna:
Did you read the article? They are already in NK. The flew into PyongYang, with the blessing of the homocidal fat little dictator Kim Yong Un.
Yes, great peace doves they are. Think they make any comments of the hundreds of thousands of North Koreans being brutalizd in the Kims concentration camps? Don´t hold your breath.

As I said yesterday, nothing could possibly go wrong.
