The WSJ's OpinionJournal site does it again, with an important article
written by a North Korean defector.
I come from a country whose rulers are indifferent to the mass
starvation of their own people--one whose citizens are on average more
than seven inches shorter than their Southern brothers and sisters,
and one that requires its citizens to rise early in the morning to
join screeching public-address systems in singing absurd songs of
praise to a deranged leader. But--and this is now increasingly true
and true to a degree that would have seemed impossible 10 years
ago--my fellow countrymen know and openly acknowledge that Kim Jong Il
is both evil and lunatic and doomed. More and more, midlevel officials
like me in the North Korean military and WMD industry see the regime's
blustering threats against other countries as evidence of its
isolation, desperation and declining hold on power.
