Personally, I think that a lot of the buzz in the blogosphere is much ado about nothing. Well, maybe nothing, but definitely not what people think/want to be the story behind the story to be. Rather that write a new post and trackback (cause I’d just say the same thing), I’ll just mention that if I had to make my best guess, this is all kind of like what happened in Turkmenistan earlier this year.

Reminds me of the theme to the Chinese movie “The Hero”. No matter how much misery the Great Leader has heaped on his nation, and upon others, his heart was pure, so he does not deserve to die. After all, he did it for all the right reasons, even if no one else saw it that way. If China can put out such poetically filmed garbage as “The Hero” after living through the age of their own “Great Leader”, what hope is there for North Korea?
