Cute as buttons, aren't they? The Charlie's Angels of North Korea -- more properly, the Kim Jong Il's Angels. It's a great sight, perfectly staged for the cameras. Healthy looking women, with thighs, buttocks and breasts. Well-tailored outfits, for a country with almost no resources to spend on things like... food?
The depths and breadths of delusion in that country is amazing. The UN reports that over 40% of Korean children are chronically malnourished. It's a hall of mirrors, illusions facing all directions. And it's almost as if the leaders of this country have been staring into those mirrors way too long.
I doubt anyone, possibly including Pyongyang's leadership, know what the game is. Flexing nuclear muscles against the United States is, ultimately, stupid. But wisdom, like food, does not seem to be plentiful north of the 38th Parallel. Let's just hope Iran's Ahmadinejad isn't interested in Kim's playbook.
