Check out the last paragraph:
Perhaps the most misunderstood aspect of the Korean cult project is its recent veering toward race and ethnic solidarity, say Kim watchers. His main appeal to his people today, a push that rarely gets attention outside the North, is to the racial superiority of a people whose isolation and stubborn xenophobia supposedly makes their bloodlines purer. Mr. Myers notes that festivals of 100,000 flag wavers is not a Stalinist exercise, but a celebration of "ethnic homogeneity." Since the 1990s Kim has more fervently claimed lineage to the first ancient rulers of Korea, a move intended to place him in a position of historical, if not divine, destiny as leader of the peninsula. |

What's truly sad is the possibility that these two beautiful young girls are being groomed for Kim Jong Il's 'O-kwa' squad, his private 'entertainers'. Some South Korean politicians were photographed partying with members of this 'dance troup' just a couple of months ago, shortly after the North's nuclear test. It caused quite the scandal here and probably didn't help Roh's approval ratings. |
