And given that it was a N. Korean ship with a N. Korean crew and a member of N. Korea's Communist Party on it, it's kind of obvious that N. Korea had something to do with it.
Australia remains convinced that N. Korea was behind the smuggling:
THE acquittal of Pong Su crew members did not clear the North Korean Government of heroin smuggling, Foreign Affairs Minister Alexander Downer said yesterday.
Mr Downer vowed to raise his concerns with the communist Government of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il.
"The North Korean involvement in this remains murky," he said.
"The North Korean Government angle to it remains a matter of concern to me."
As it does for us all! People, you should know by now that if Bush had ever had any real concern for national security, he would have bull-dogged North Korea instead of having us invade Iraq. Problems with N. Korea:
1. Selling weapons to other "rogue" nations
2. Developing nuclear weapons
3. Developing long range missiles for those nuclear weapons
4. Selling long range missiles for nuclear weapons
5. Counterfeiting US money
6. Sellling and transporting drugs to Japan and Australia (and who knows were else?)
7. Having the worlds 5th largest army with an economy that can't feed all it's civilians.
8. Having a totalitarian regime run by a guy with the world's largest personal movie collection.
9. Being the world's probable Number 1 human rights violater (we don't know because they don't allow any investigations)
10. I don't know, but this is N. Korea, so I know there is a ten and I'm just forgetting it.

There really are literally no norms of international conduct that govern North Korea are there, excpet possibly self-preservation? I suppose there's hope that this regime will eventually collapse, but shouldn't it be on our terms, with us dictating what direction it goes in?
Yeah, why not, when the average N. Korean believes we're responsible for their power failures and starvation?
