Platform shoes and nukes

While the mad North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il spends his country's money on platform shoes and nuclear weapons, his starving people receive foreign aid from countries such as Australia (strange, I thought the West was evil). Interestingly, one of the countries that gives aid to North Korea is its democratic rival South Korea. Anyone who's watched an episode or two of MASH knows full well that these two countries fought it out in the aptly named Korean War (a war which a family member of mine served in for Australia). These countries are technically still at war with each other as only a cease-fire agreement was signed in 1953. A warring nation giving aid to its enemy. Remarkable.

What's even more remarkable is that Kim Jong-il has reportedly large personality cults. No wonder Hitler was able to convince the masses his ideas were so good. The masses, evidently, are stupid.
