Interesting....
Check out Strategypage's page on the Korean Penninsula. The March 3rd entry has some interesting info about North Korean political instability.
It is very hard to make judgements about this sort of thing. The mainstream media does not seem to have any news that would back this assertion up. But they also were, and are, clueless about the liberation movement in Lebanon.
So how can we judge information on North Korea? The media will miss the story until it has already happened. Is falling back on the assmption that all people demand respect and some sort of freedom, ergo the North Korean story sounds true, anything more than falling prey to your own bias? Is that political philosophy or is it mirror-imaging?
NOTE: I had to edit this for grammatical purposes after the initial posting.
