Rumsfeld said in an interview that when you view the Korean Peninsula at night the South is lit up like a Christmas tree while the North is almost totally dark. You can literally see the difference between communism and capitalism from space.

Here 'tis:

If you look just to the left of Japan (far right), North Korea is so dark that South Korea looks like a brilliantly illuminated island between Japan and mainland China . . .

I noticed recently that on the Army website (www.army.mil) that the very top has a banner of the entire world, in the same manner as that satellite map. You can clearly see on the far right the black hole that North Korea causes.

South Korea looks like an island. (Of course, if the North keeps this up, it will be an island.)
