The Dark Side of the Force.

As you may have already seen in the news, North Korea Kim Jong Il changes his mind (again) after less than a day:

in a statement broadcast on North Korean radio early on Tuesday morning local time, Pyongyang reiterated its "right to peaceful nuclear activities". It said the US "should not even dream" it would dismantle its nuclear arsenal until Washington had provided it with a light-water nuclear reactor. Soon afterwards, Vice-Foreign Minister Kim Kye-gwan told reporters that his nation was not prepared to make the first move. "They are telling us to give up everything, but there will be no such thing as giving it up first," he said.

What I find particularly telling is this picture found on Korean News - it makes you imagine what life must be like down there in the North.
