Letter to the Mainichi Shimbun:

The “three principles of love” proposed by an organization called the “National Husbands’ Advisory Association”—if you don’t want your marriage to end in divorce, you should say “I’m sorry,” “Thank you” and “I love you” without fear, hesitation or embarrassment.

If North Korea doesn’t want to be estranged from the international community, it should at least try following principle number one.

Hey, if apologies let you get around immigration law, maybe they’ll let you get around international law, too!
