All Right! Party's Over ...
The singularly truculent nation of North Korea enjoyed a splendidly choreographed spectacular to celebrate their reverence for their Glorious Leader. They truly are fortunate, and they know it, for it is not most countries who have the great good fortune to enjoy the leadership of a Glorious Leader. Some do, however, and they're notable indeed.The former dictator of Iraq, Saddam Hussein also had a splendid title. The Grand Ayatollah of Iran too is known as an outstandingly brilliant leader for he is Supreme as a leader. Doubtless there are many more such instances, such as the redoubtable Robert Mugabe, the Father of his Zimbabwean people, and Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, Saviour of his nation.
They have much in common, those extraordinary leaders of the ... what shall we say, compromised societies ... of the world. But perhaps it is the devotion and esteem in which North Korea's starving population regards their Dear Leader that is the most moving in their fervour and ardent adoration for their very own Kim Jong Il.
The media, just incidentally operated by the state for the state in Pyongyang had words of sky-high praise for this irreplaceable humanitarian mentioning that he is "praised by mankind as the most outstanding political elder and the peerlessly brilliant commander of the present era".
And why he does not offer free lessons to the world leaders who are clearly failing in their obligations to those they serve, is quite beyond understanding.
It is widely rumoured that Dear Leader's health is in a very delicate, precarious state. One can only imagine in the most minute way how tragic it will be when the people of North Korea are forced to bury one so dear to them.
Their pride in his achievements, his astonishing creation of his country as a nuclear - as in wow, look at that mushroom cloud - country while the granaries of the country are depleted is beyond compare.
And for the big party celebrating yet another year under his fabulous leadership, there were wonderful events that "depicted beautiful frost flowers carrying boundless reverence" for Dear Leader as synchronized female swimmers performed to nationalistic tunes such as "Let's Meet Each Other on the Front".
In fact it was not just in Pyongyang, but all over the country in various cities and provinces where athletic games, performances, gun salutes and contests helped starving North Koreans to realize just how fortunate they are.
