This accusation aaisngt North Korea as source of crystal meth in China is a curious one. I explored the research that supports this claim and found that these claims seem to be partly from the realm of pure speculation and partly the usual demonization. There is some possible evidence. It seems plausible that it is the medicine of choice in N. Korea itself, but laying NE China's drug problems at the feet of the regime seems like the usual blame the outsider talk.As to China paying attention to its own faults, my sense is that, while it does so very much on its own terms, over the past 30 years, China has been the single most navel gazing nation in the world. If it is not, how do we explain the constant urge to reform?

We are very sorry for loss. Your family will be in our prayers. Love Always The Bush Family (Jack, Laura, John & Tommy)

Hollie, Willie & Steven, I am so sorry and shocked to hear about your loss. Eddie will be missed by myself and many who he made laugh, cherished his liberal wisdom and humbling disposition in relation to the human spirit. I am sorry....

Hollie, my heart goes out to you and your family. I wish you strength during this very difficult time. I wish I could have been there today, but you are in my thoughts and prayers. Brenda

Words cannot express how sorry I am to hear about Eddie! I'm so glad I was able to reconnect with him and become friends with you, Hollie. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you, the boys, and the rest of the family.

Hollie, Steve and Willie, We are so sorry to hear about the passing of your loving husband and father. It was always a pleasure to talk with him at cross country meets and local races. His presence and support will be missed by everyone. Sincerest Sympathy, Joan, Walt and Alex Francis

We are so blessed by having Eddie as a friend!! Double blessed with his signature, absolutely charming unplanned swings by our house. Twelve days ago he stopped by just to give Luca money from your last trip. We didn't get to spend enough time with him that night, he had to go. We feel the same way now as we did that night. Our hearts ache for all, with special prayers going to Eddie's family, especially Holly, Stevie and Willie. Holly, he always talked about you being his best friend. What an beautiful man! We will be with you to share memories and to morn his loss. Much Love, Luca, Tre, Gianni, Gino and Catherine

Sending my condolences…sorrow for a fine human being…
