Thanks for the great article, Aiden! Did you have to put bandaids on your eye-balls after reading so much slashing, violent fulmination?
Any chance you can dig up photos of some of the foreign devils who copy-edited this stuff in English? One wonders if they have PTSD by now; hopefully they were sharp enough to ask in advance to be paid in soju!

Dear friends and colleagues,

 

Just to let you know that the new issue of Comparative Connections

- the thrice-yearly online journal published by Pacific Forum-CSIS -

includes what I think is the first full account and detailed analysis

in English of North Korea's ongoing bloodthirsty fulminations

against South Korea and especially its President, Lee Myung-bak.

 


In over 40 years of following North Korea, I've read tons of rich

DPRK invective - but never anything as bizarre and nasty as this.


(They don't much care for Park Geun-hye, either; for all that she

dined with Kim Jong-il in Pyongyang less than a decade ago.)

 

In case of interest, this article is freely available to all at

http://csis.org/files/publication/1201qnk_sk.pdf

The full issue, which as ever also has three further articles on Korea

covering the two Koreas' relations with the US, China and Japan,

can be accessed at http://csis.org/program/comparative-connections

 

All good wishes

Aidan FC
