In the midst of a bloody civil war, Syria's Assad honors North Korea's founding nutball:
Syria's embattled government, facing a four-year war that is encroaching on the capital, on Monday inaugurated a park in Damascus to honour North Korea's founding father Kim Il-Sung.
You may ask, why would Assad do this?
You may have forgotten that Assad needs Iran's help to survive; and Iran may need North Korea to build a nuclear arsenal.
