Kind of doubt it myself since if things got that bad the citizens would probably open the door to the invaders.

Taliban's destruction of the centuries-old Buddhas in Afghanistan.
I recall this incident as I was in college at the time in a Model UN class. One of the other students was from Afghanistan and I assume came to the United States following the Soviet Invasion in 1980. THis incident prevoked this comment form him: "I guess I can never go home again". I imagine he'd been hoping to return at some point after the Soviets left, maybe after finishing college. But then that happened. It wasn't too long after this that the United States invaded the country for other reasons.

One of the comments at the bottom of the article sums up what I feel about this: Do the world a favor and eat your fat little leader. |

I don't know if this story is true, but I know that most of the country other than Pyongyang has no electricity, and that alone is sick... Also how tourists cannot travel outside of Pyongyang, and can only travel with a guide, like they're children or dogs. They're obviously hiding something terrible that goes on beyond the capital's borders. |

that maybe but if it got so bad that a parent feels the need to kill their own children to survive. I would think rebelling against the regime would be a better choice. There might be choices worst then killing and eating your own children but death by a gun shot to your own head isn't it.

@ogon_bat: Kosovo became quite some hell before NATO decided to go in and break Slobodan Milosevic's spine. Still, it was never an excuse not to go in. |
