Ri Hyon Ok, age 33, was executed for giving away Bibles, and her family was sent to prison. This includes her mom, dad, husband and three kids.  North Korea, like all totalitarian regimes, hates freedom of the press, freedom of religion and freedom of speech.

I struggle with my view on foreign policy. Obviously we jumped in over our heads by invading Iraq. And obviously, oil and other selfish interests played a major part in that decision. But did not Jesus say that anyone in need is our neighbor? So where is the line? When do we draw the line and say to another nation… no more?

I wonder how long we will continue to play games with North Korea (this has been both political parties). Their government is oppressive, brutal and cruel. They threaten their own people. They threaten international peace. They threaten us.
