Dang! Bill Clinton rolled into the belly of the beast and walked out with two of our boys (well, girls)!Clinton went to Pyongyang and met with the Dear Leader himself and got two U.S. journalists released from jail.
And we thought the Dear Leader was crazy? Turns out he's a nice guy!
I have these books that are released by North Korea about Kim Jong-il. They are in English and appear to be some sort of bizarre propaganda, aimed at who I have no idea. The books are filled with chapter after chapter of the stories about the dear leader. Each story is essentially the same; Dear Leader shows up, makes some great sacrifice for the country, shows the good citizens how to do their job better thereby earning respect and devotion.
In one story, Kim goes out on a fishing boat that has struggled to bring in fish to fill the fish market. Kim, keenly eyeing the waters like a salty sea captain, suggests the crew try another spot, just over there... Lo and behold, the ship's nets are filled in mere moments and the people of North Korea can eat again, thanks to Dear Leader.
And to go with the bountiful harvest of fresh fish, Kim recently opened up a burger joint in Pyongyang. I read somewhere (not at the link above) that he shipped in fast-food cooks from Singapore to teach the North Koreans how to fry up hamburgers.
A few years ago, Kim did the same thing with Italian. He had some Korean chefs visit Italy to learn how to make pizza and later Italian chefs came to Korea to help them out.
The man likes his foreign food, they say. Nevermind that the rest of the country is starving.
