How unpleased is Beijing with their “brother nation?” Well, on the day of the test, one Chinese official apparently told the Dong-A Ilbo that Kim Jong-il was “like a two-year-old Hitler” (link fixed). The paper elaborated this meant that Kim is always trying to get others’ attention like a two-year-old kid, and like Hitler, he doesn’t consider the situation and doesn’t submit to anyone.
The Dong-A reports that relations between China and North Korea are the worst they’ve ever been, and that includes when the Red Guards were denouncing Kim Il-sung as a rightist during the Cultural Revolution.

His mother died young, his dad was never home. Some of his former high-school classmates who have defected to South Korea have described a teenage Kim Jong Il (actually, he still went by his real name then) as being more interested in showing off his material goods than studying. So, yeah, it’s pathological.
By the way, the link brings me to the Starbucks story.
Funny. That’s how I would describe a certain someone suffering from paranoia who comments at this blog.
North Korea is threatening to declare war on the world…

I get a feeling North Korea wouldn’t win this one.
SomeguyinKorea—I fixed the link in the post. My bad.
So when the world rejects Kim Jong-Il as an artist based on his two failed submissions, will he see war as an opportunity and volunteer?
I guess they’re no longer “closer than lips and teeth” as they were during the Korean War.
“Closer than teeth and lips.
More like lips and coldsores these days>
At least Adolf actually served in an army and fought in a war before entering political life. He also wrote his own book, instead of having others ghost-write it for him. He could also make a decent public speech. Finally, his actions had such terrible and deliberate human consequences that his name has become synonymous with “evil.” For all these reasons, AH is justly reviled as a dark world-historical figure to be reckoned with. KJI will be lucky to manage “insane twerp” in future footnotes.
Unfortunately, I just realized that my previous comment might also make Adolf compare favorably to George W. Bush. Considering that AH didn’t reportedly screw the help, Clinton’s got competition as well.
