WTH did they not get civilians out of there long before this? Even armchair strategery freepers predicted this.
There may also be American tourists at this moment in Pyongyang of all places--believe it or not--having gone there on British and Australian arranged tour programs. What a mess. They will have no diplomatic assistance (save for the Swedes) whatsoever...if this breaks down into shooting. You would have to be an idiot to go up there anyways, outside of being a journalist if you ask me, and even THAT would be risky. Like walking into the belly of a hungry tiger.
