North Korea Pulling a USSR?
It looks like North Korea may be about to pull a USSR and collapse. For some reason letting about 2 million of your people starve to death, preventing any contact with outside world, and not allowing any freedom does not seem to have worked very well for Kim. For a more detailed description of how messed up North Korea is read this disturbing article by congressman Jeff Miller who traveled to North Korea in 2003. He notes that he did not see any old people his entire time there (he assumes they are all dead) and, "Not once did I see a North Korean reading a newspaper or a magazine, nor did I see any for sale. There aren’t many cars in the city to drive on the spacious 6-lane interstate through the metropolitan area."
