Sorry to do my first guest-post on a depressing note, but it’s looking likely that we now have a rogue state led by a mad murderous tyrant with weapons of mass destruction.
Madly enough, North Korea is the world’s only necrocracy: the president is not "The Dear Leader" Kim Jong Il, but is his father’s corpse ("The Great Leader" Kim Il Sung). Kim Jong Il on the other hand has written 6 operas, exercises total control over the media, and doesn’t like long hair. However not even he (hopefully) could be mad enough to contemplate actually nuking anyone, given that he’d be dead within the day if he did.
Anyway I’m sure we all hope that John is having a great time there.

North Korea wiuld be very difficult to nuke in etaliation, sandwiched as it is between China and South Korea, and close to a lot of allies of the West. Tricky…..
