#1 As to how arrogant and out of touch these guys are go read the piece in The New York Times Review of Books(Did I get that name right?) about a Korean-American's visit to N. Korea in 2001. I believe it is the current issue. It was during the current head thug's 2001 birthday bash and a propaganda visit by S.Koreans and craven (not the writer) Korean-Americans. The N.Korean officials tried to recruit the author to say the "truth" about N.Korea to the world. They dangled the possibility of finding her great-uncle last seen as a prisoner at the beginning of the Korean war! Scumbags. Incompetent ones too, they couldn't even provide heat in the guest apartments....

#3 My wife is a clinical psychologist. I'll give her the article and see what she makes of it. We need some more rigorous terms than "fruitcake" to describe these guys.

#4 After reading this, I have come to the conclusion that it's high time for U.S. forces to leave South Korea for good and let them fend for themselves. If in the process of playing footsie with the North Koreans they get fried, wll, as the old saying goes, tough shit.

#9 Dang tu3031! You made me laugh out loud in the work place. Rifle301, that article was a good one and should have been linked more in the blogosphere. Author says nothing about policy and shows sympathy for the collaborationists (families torn apart, etc.) but is ultimately damning of the regime.
