The journalist, Roxana Saberi, had been in the Iranian jail since January as she was charged for spying. She is a hopeful young American female journalist. Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and other Iranian leaders considered her circumstances very seriously, morally, in a humane way. Now she is free to come home. We pray for her health and peace and joy in the family;

Needless to say, our president Mr. Obama and the secretary of state Mrs. Clinton greatly helped her case as the Iranian leaders understood their concerns. Whole world expressed joy of Saberi’s home coming. More good understandings hopefully would come from the leaders of both nations.
Meantime, we hope that North Korean leader Kim Jong Il too this time take the same line of thought as the Iranian and American leaders had for Ms. Roxana Saberi and free two female American journalists -One Chinese American, one Korean American – Laura Ling and Euna Lee, as spies, jailed now in the cold North Korea.
We understand that Mr. Kim has the same humane fatherly compassion too as these leaders had for this young Saberi who is in the same age group of their children.
Saberi and the American female journalists probably had the same intellectual curiosity and dutiful obligation to inform the world about the true images of the countries they were visiting in order to promote better human understanding among the nations
for a better tomorrow.

We hope that Mr. Kim by now should have much more progressive thought than Mr. Mikhail Gorbachev had for the declining Soviet Union.

Consider the young American female journalists’ bravery and intellectual curiosity as well as their love for Koreans in North and South.

See the Korean airmen and navies saved North Koreans when their cargo ship was attached by the pirates as they had the strong love of Koreans as the same family members at the same time to accomplish their duty as soldiers to keep peace in the international waters. Imagine these brave Koreans did for the international duty according to the law. Proud Koreans!! Do you know Koreans are not dummies but so smart!!

For there is no borderline in love.

Mr. Kim should understand we have to build a better world according to the ideas of young new generation that should have much more enlightened than those of the now aged leaders’ of the troubled world.

Try to educate the young generation to have a better life than you and we have as we could not have accomplished the dream yet although we so dreamed of. You have a good chance to show your good will to the world, freeing these two female Americans from the cold jail.

If you free them, all Koreans in North and South and all Chinese people as well as the American people and the people of the world will admire you as the man of good will. Just free them with your good message to the American leaders too as it is very good opportunity for you to express some of your inner thoughts to them as the Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his leaders did.

Please free the young Korean American journalists from the cold jail. They are suffered enough because of a misunderstanding by your misinformed or informed leaders. For the world already knows very well the people are starving in the workers’ paradise.

Laura and Euna wanted to help them somehow, someway. Hopefully this time the judges in North Korean court should demonstrate their legal brilliance for the case as the Iranian judges did for Saberi.

God will bless your good deeds.
