wow, that is an in-depth article ...it's good to read something about them .. we never ever hear anything substantial .. just the same old junk all the time .. and I feel that a writer in Japan would be an excellent one to know about it .. definitely know more than we do ... which is pretty easy. as you know, today, 'he' said all foreign embassies were not safe .. I think he meant in South Korea .. I'm horrible now, as I'm just warred and killed out ... the 'bush' years broke my outrage/sadness/tears button ... and I just find it impossible now to be upset with just about anything 'anywhere' .. hell, even here I'm sort of burned out .. lol .. . ;) anyway thanks for the piece ... I did learn more ... than I had ever picked up anywhere .. also in the Atlantic today there was a headline .. .something like " Why are we so afraid of Iran but Laugh at N. Korea" . .(we know they have nuclear, heh.)
...............once again, I passed on reading it .. it made it's point to me at least .. ;)
