It’s open-season. Mock any and all North Korean government offices and officials. Any government that places the safety of icons and images (idol-worship, to be sure) above the safety of the governed has more than just a few screws loose.

MSNBC – North Korea issues ‘wartime guidelines’

North Korea has ordered its citizens to be ready for a protracted war against the United States, issuing guidelines on evacuating to underground bunkers with weapons, food and portraits of leader Kim Jong Il.

…

The manual urged the military to build restaurants, wells, restrooms and air purifiers in underground bunkers, which government offices and military units will move into if war breaks out.

When North Koreans evacuate to underground facilities, they should make sure that they take the portraits, plaster busts and bronze statues of Kim and his parents so that they can “protect” them in a special room, the guidelines say.

I am not advocating a war of offense against the Norks, but should we find ourselves there, it’ll be “Shoot the Kim” target practice when they find these caches of iconographic nonsense.
