Vacationing in N. Korea- who could imagine? The kim-chee is killer I hear. Containment is working here, methinks.

I see the very name of Kim Jong-il is enough to deter the beastly Americans from daring to invade the Socialist Workers Paradise that is modern North Korea!
Like the Berlin wall, it's only a matter of time....
I can't imagine going to college just to learn how to wait on others. Please tell me that the waiters aren't the smartest of North Korea, I hate to see talent wasted.

Well...these are also the same people who believe that an attack by the United States is imminent...and has been imminent for the past 50 years. In fact, their government told them so.
What is the definition of 'imminent' anyway? "Bound to happen sometime in the next couple hundred years"?
“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”

It's a pity that they are fed these lies, A incredibly intelligent person who could be a brilliant economist, scientists wasting his/her years learning to wait on others because they've been told it is amongst the best jobs.
It's also a window of opportunity however. The growing ties between the north and south are actually beyond politics, or economics. It's really a matter of a divided nation finally healing itself. Notice how no 6-party talks are needed for it to happen? Maybe if north and south korea were just left alone for a little while they would work things out on their own.

I agree, with one exception. The insane pigmy monarch won't tolerate just bieng a citizen in a re-unified Korea dominated by the Industrial South.
He's old and doesn't live a healthy life-style. If say . . . worst comes to worst and the dear leader has an assisted heart-attack and promptly dies, then after a saddening funeral the young and more energetic replacement could quickly move things in a different direction.

His father ( a shy, modest retiring sort of fellow) lived to the age of 82. Young feller-me-lad is a mere 65 so he could be the fairy on the top of the Christmas tree for a decade and a half yet
