Something's creepy about these pictures...

There is indeed. While we can't know for sure (nor do I think I want to know) the depths of depravity of which Kim Jong Il is capable of, the thought occurs to me that his intentions regarding the North Korean people may be not unlike that of Hitler towards the German people as the fuehrerbunker was threatening to cave in on him, or more likely that of the infamous "Reverend" Jim Jones, who forced his followers into mass suicide via cyanide when he realized that his Marxist "Jonestown" experiment was about to go bust after the visit of the late Congressman Leo Ryan.

KJI, should he be contemplating his own demise, may view all of the North Korean people as expendable, because as any murdering criminal knows, it is the witnesses you leave behind who write your history, ergo, Kim most likely would prefer to see everyone in that failed worker's paradise die with him, rather than to let anyone survive.

Now whether or not he has the MEANS to carry that out, remains to be seen. If there were any lingering tyrants who deserve the fate of Romania's Ceasescu and his wife, it is certainily Kim Jong Il and his poisonous clan.

Even if Mr. Ronery gets his comeuppance tomorrow, the scars on the people's souls will last for generations.
