How often do the North Koreans get to laugh openly at propaganda? I bet those howls of laughter felt really good. How often do the North Koreans get to laugh openly at propaganda?

It would make more logical sense to me to have stuck with the military (the guys with the guns) and have them moved in to take over the administrative functions. Maybe the Party was too strong. (But to ultimately be strong, it would have to be able to control a fair amount of the guns.) Maybe the regime thinks enough of the military will stay with him after moving away from Military First and moving away will keep enough of the Party with him. Like with everything in North Korea, it sounds like trying to bail out the Titanic with a washbucket. Anyway....I've been in the process of collecting material for making more NK Human Rights Videos and I came across a great source at You Tube called journeymanpictures. They seem to do a lot with Iraq and everything. A search for that term and Korea led to about 36 videos. Excellent quality from what I've seen so far. But you have to ask for permission to embed one.
