Flunkeyists Flailed

The North Korean News Agency describes how plans by South Korean authorities ("pro-American flunkeyists") to build a memorial to US GIs killed in Iraq after being transferred from South Korean postings have been described by the Secretariat of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland as "an unbearable insult to the dignity of the Korean nation... The south Korean authorities should immediately stop such shameful criminal action, clearly mindful that their treacherous acts of going against the aspiration of the nation and the trend of the times will invite their self-destruction."

The general tone and tenor of this North Korean protest is, it strikes the blog, distinctly mild and reasonable, if one compares it with the level of outrage that would explode from all sides, should a European government consider similar plans to honour US soldiers for their sacrifice in Iraq.
