How sad that an entire country falls under the delusionary grandeur of one man. We have seen it time and time again in history. I am convinced that Kim Jong-il acts solely to get attention and in the process starves a country and keeps it under his impenetrable thumb. As long as he controls the military and the outside information coming in, he has a dictatorship or even a mini-theocracy.
This latest I believe is occurring to show that his son is indeed in power. Under pressure he will back down only to rear his ugly head again and again. We and other countries let him continue to starve his people. The pressure has to come from China and Russia who have let the stance be to let boys be boys. This guy needs to be taken out so that North Korea can join the rest of the civilized world. If the U.S. attempts to shape this, we are in for yet a third conflict.
