(AP Photo)Combine the sentencing of two reporters to 12 years of hard labor with repeated missile/nuclear tests and threats to neighbors, and it seems as though Mr. Il's health problems have gone straight to his enchanting-looking head.
But really, having already starved some of his people and sent some to labor camps, all the while investing in military might, it's safe to say he had already punched his ticket to dictatorial cuckoo land in most of the world's eyes.
Unfortunately, no matter how much you may dislike the Dear Rodent, um, I mean Leader, we should engage for the sake of the aforementioned two reporters and their families.
The U.S. government has dealt with nutjobs throughout the history of the so-called international community, so why do we try to differentiate? We've supported some awful people (see Cold War); so is sitting at a table with one really anywhere near as awful?
Despite all these questions, the most important could be: When he and his oversized glasses are six feet under, is there any chance his successor son will lean on that Swiss education to be more of this Earth?
In this crazy-ass world, I'd lean toward the "I'm cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs" result.
