is it not the responsibility of the government to protect the people?

Since when did Kim Dung ill ever care about his own people?

Not making any statement as to the care and feeding of a dictator, merely pointing out that the report may not have any more significance than business as usual.

I had three tours in ROK and 8 or 9 TDY's into the place in 20 years, and have seen North Korea beat this type of drum before......NK does this to help keep the populace's mind off their ills, SK publishes news of the north to remind everyone the adversary is real.

In a real sense, the midget, views the people as lots and lots of cannon fodder without them he's holding a real weak hand.

(view of rush hour in Pyongyang)

And, marvel at how he has reduced per capita energy costs!
