Oh, and Nick: I saw the documentary about the cataract surgery. There were multiple people who had that surgery performed on them that year, and they sincerely believed that it was only because of the Dear Leader that they were able to have it and receive their sight again. I know exactly what you are referencing. It was not out of fear as you believe, if you had seen the entire documentary.

To be honest not to anger Quay in any way but this whole spectacle I have seen makes me believe that Eric might be right if you look hard enough there emotions seem staged. I believe there government is very cruel.

NOW WE CAN'T LAUGH ANYMORE, AT THAT FUNNY LOOKING CLOWN. THANK GOODNESS HE FINALLY CROAKED.

Those people obviously live in fear of the state and of saying the wrong thing. An old woman being interviewed for western cameras after a U.N. medical unit restored her eye sight after advanced cataracts said the greatest part about seeing again was that she could see the face of the great leader.

You guys clearly have no clue about North Korea, otherwise you wouldn't have posted such a dumb article. Seriously, I knew you guys weren't journalists, but wow. They WERE actually crying over the Dear Leader, the same way they did for the Eternal Prsident, because these leaders are that revered and loved by their citizens. Blamed that on political propaganda, but do your research before you post such stupid crap.
