Some hopeful developments on the Korean penninsula this week, laced with some standard passive/nuclear agressive pronouncements.. All courtesy of North Korea, of course.. Excerpts:
North Korea, in a New Year message, said tensions with South Korea should be defused while calling for “intense combat training” for the North Korean army.
“The danger of war should be removed and peace safeguarded in the Korean Peninsula,” the state-run Korean Central News Agency reported, citing a New Year editorial carried by newspapers including Rodong Sinmun and Joson Inmingun. “If a war breaks out on this land, it will bring nothing but a nuclear holocaust.”
And, true to its technological reputation, North Korea sent these greetings via fax. Ringring.. 1994 calling..
Also, as another testament to Kim Jong Il's unique leadership style, "Bend it like Beckham" has been shown on North Korean state television, and is the first western movie to ever be broadcast in North Korea.
"Apparently the people were amazed that a Western film was shown," Hughes told The AP. "And there has been a buzz around the country as people have talked about the film and its content."
Kim Jong Il, the Lady Ga Ga of world leaders, strikes again..
