That was my 1rst observation too and no worries about having to make any large effort to enforce internet policing or regulation either . <bg

Guess nothing wrong with this kind of slow transition from a very traumatised adolescent youth & the accompanying psychological withdrawal into a closed paranoid sphere of national fundamentalist personalty Cult based around extreme militarization and totalitarian Stalinist dictatorship ....just what has to happen in these extreme instances though Korea did experience some relative peace in its dynastic past .

Given asian's long historical propensity for adapting to rule by dynasties and people's fierce natural self reliance and ability to survive of the dire economic challenges facing them in such isolation by generation of such intense nationalistic thrall in the post cold war drama they still remain in the midst of , can very well see how this kind of transmutation into a complete militarized state has occurred . One of Stalin's (and Mao's) last great cold war gifts to the world of North Korea and that terrible war , then later a bankrupt USSR .

Wars are fought differently these days and 100,000 times more lethal ....lets hope some better progress in a "Sunshine Policy " is made based on flexible reciprocity & peaceful coexistence bringing back some of the older, less strident Confucian values . One can only hope but they are a pawn lets not forget this for a moment ...

What irks me is the US ends up footing the largest part of the bill as usual supplementing their diets with larger contributions than Russia & China combined , while the game plays on into future strategies of aggression we've aided indirectly & directly . The willingness of the world to help them progress is certainly there and just to the south ...these situations require ultimate patience since larger games here are being played out while N Korea remains in her self imposed isolation & militarization .

Maybe some move to a more open society , using China as a template ?
