Its a Wonderful World, except in North Korea,

The Ranter
The Views of The Ranter

Satchmo , Louis Armstrong is famous for singing, It’s a Wonderful World, apparently it is anything but that in North Korea, as Good Morning America has been showing the world from televising their show in the capital, Pyongyang. My friend was telling me how the subway was a sad sight to behold, with all of the riders staring straight forward, much like robots out of a scene from a movie about the future.

I find it interesting though that as 100,000 of its citizens gathered to celebrate North Korea’s nuclear success, their leader with the stranger hairdo, Kim Jong II explained how sorry he was for the initial nuclear test. It is amazing how much power China holds over this impoverished nation living fully under the iron hand of Kim Jong II.

North Korea has long been noted for the death of any of its citizens openly disagreeing with the leadership and after Good Morning America, it is even more than evident just how afraid these people really are. The living conditions in the North are far from the wonderful utopia they love to show the world. The leadership has been tied to organized crime, among other things, as a study published on the Nautilus Institute, by David L. Asher shows.

If Asia turns into another nuclear race, the results could possibly be anything but pure devastation. Let us be honest here folks, when insane people have the power of the bomb, just what does anyone really feel the eventual outcome would be, except nuclear winters floating along the DMZ.

Now we just have to wait to see if they are going to sell the weapon to Iran as previously thought. It has been reported that Iran was responsible for underwriting the research and development of the nuclear device and intelligence has warned that it was a joint operation for some time now.
