What's going on in North Korea?

Last night, I watched a good summary of the North Korea situation on FOX News. It was very instructive.

What's Kim up to? Is he trying to get attention or is he crying for help? Or is he crazy?

What Is Kim Jong Il Up To? by Michael Barone raises the possibility that Kim has internal problems:

"I have no answer to that question. But here are a couple of interesting articles that address it. Thomas Lifson of the American Thinker blog thinks Kim Jong Il is in desperate straits, threatened with a rebellion by the North Korean military. He argues that trade sanctions, like those Japan just announced, will push the military to oust Kim. Nicholas Eberstadt of the American Enterprise Institute takes a more somber view."

North Korea is now in the hands of the UN Security Council. This is a big test for the UN. Is it relevant or will this be a repeat of the Saddam episodes from the late 90s!

The American people are fed up with the UN. This is the last chance. Otherwise, you will see serious political pressure on the US government to get out of the UN. Again, let me remind you that the US taxpayers pay 22% of the budget!
