Of course. Most of them are communists anyway. Why should this surprise anyone?

Not unprecedented.

From Wikipedia:

In 1987, UNESCO officially recommended to member states that they “join in the commemoration of the centenary of the birth of President Ho Chi Minh by organizing various events as a tribute to his memory”, considering “the important and many-sided contribution of President Ho Chi Minh in the fields of culture, education and the arts” who “devoted his whole life to the national liberation of the Vietnamese people, contributing to the common struggle of peoples for peace, national independence, democracy and social progress.”

“Irony: Food relief officials bow before statues of the tyrants who caused famine.”

The famine caused bt the tyrants gave purpose to the un food program and validated their job. Those that starved and died mean nothing to them, ony their “good intentions.”

This if nothing else shows we should get out of the un and get the un out of America.

Drudge has had a link to the DPRK news for as long as I can remember.

Look for NKOREAN NEWS.

They have a very limited vocabulary when it comes to head lines. "Imperialist US/Japan", "Criminal US", "World Lauds DPRK Scientific Achievements/Medical Breakthroughs", "[NGOs] Honor/Pay Homage to ... Leader", etc.
