What Evil Lurks? - This truly is an amazing photo. A night-time satellite image of the Korean peninsula shows the vivid technological glow of South Korea contrasted with the Mordor-like darkness of the North. It seems possible to me that the U.S. faces no adversary as foreign in its thinking and inscrutible in its actions than the DPRK. Even Islamofascists exist in a society where computers and satellite TV news are an integral part of life. Compared with the relative modernity of Iraq, North Korea truly resembles the nastier realms of Middle Earth.
