The North Korean government has again allowed legal cell phone service in the capital. Cell phone systems were first introduced in 2002, but that was halted in 2004, after a train explosion, believed triggered by cell phone, and directed at North Korea dictator Kim Jong Il.
I remember the news of that. I had no idea what to make of it and the news was not helpful. I listed off a number of speculative reasons but an attempt on Kim's life was not one of them.
The idea that we can squeeze North Korea to get rid of Kim's sick regime certainly doesn't seem so fantastic. There were other incidents, too, remember.
