    Guess the re-education was a bit too tedious......

    But you don't see 50 million skulls and sets of bones unlike what Pol Pot did, I guess Soviets really know their stuff and cleaned up well.

    The North Koreans have nukes and China to back them up.

    It's really crazy. The Chinese have 1.5 trillion dollars in foreign currency reserves and they are lending the US dollars so that we can aid North Korea with the Food for Nukes program.

    Dun forget the millions of tons of heavy machinery oil for North Korea too! An incentive for them to shut down their pathetic "power generating" nuclear reactor.

    With North Korea still largely inaccessible to journalists, scholars, and policy makers, Mike Chinoy, former CNN Senior Asia Correspondent and Pacific Council Senior Fellow in Korean Security, will offer a veteran Asia reporter's penetrating look behind the curtain of secrecy and misunderstanding that screens North Korea from outside view.
