I link this for a couple of reasons. (saw it in the comments section of the Hitchen's article) First it is funny how the North Koreans view this situation and interesting how they are spinning it to their people. Second I am so used to a "comments" section nowadays that I laughed at myself when for a split second I thought I would find it at the bottom of a North Korean news release.
News From KOREAN CENTRAL NEWS AGENCY of DPRK
Obviously this has been translated into English by someone and both accidental and deliberate mistranslations are possible but I am willing to say this is pretty much 100% accurate. And this is a very scary situation indeed. I am generally anti-war (and most certainly probably will still be if this thing gets worse and US intervention is called for) and I also believe alternate views/conspiracy theories sometimes have huge credence, but I think North Korea's president is certainly just fucking crazy and the US has to do nothing to spin this situation to make him look worse)
