The always intriguing Michael Barone has a great column up at U. S. News about North Korea and its eventual fall. Barone begins by pointing out that last year, Bush was handing out the book The Case for Democracy: The Power of Freedom to Overcome Tyranny and Terror by Natan Sharanksy; then came the Second Inaugural and the Arab Spring in Lebanon. This year, the book that has captured Bush's fancy is The Aquariums of Pyongyang: Ten Years in the North Korean Gulag by Kang Chol-Hwan. This is a barometer of the seriousness with which Bush holds his hatred of the regime of Kim Jong-Il. Or, as Barone puts it, the choice of books 'suggests that he is more determined than ever to undermine a regime that is probably the world's worst violator of human rights'. Highly recommended...
