More reasons why Kim Jong Il should be taken down now

Just like the famine in late 1990s when Kim refused to let worldís aid in for fear of losing his grip on power, thus letting 3 million of his people starve to death needlessly (half a Holocaust, say I, wondering where the peace marchers are on that one), Pyongyang is yet again stonewalling on aid to victims of the huge explosion last week. Hundreds of blinded kids, we are told, although no one is sureósuch is the extreme disconnectedness in that country that no one outside really knows.
To stop media interviews with survivors, North Korea stopped Chinaís attempts to aid victims of blindness. The regime refused to let South Korea trucks cross the border with relief supplies, fearing its border would be compromised in some unacceptable fashion.
So the suffering continues while the Dear Leader is nowhere to be found on the subject.
Meanwhile the official state media circulates stories claiming residents in the affected areas ran back into their houses to first save their portraits of the Dear Leader, leaving kids behind to suffer longer or even die. First things first for the Wizard of Odd.
If that man isnít an advertisement for the utility of assassinating an evil leader, then who the hell is?
