Only Inside North Korea (and Iran) Was Nuclear Testing Applauded

Monday’s apparent nuclear test in North Korea was reported to its citizens as “a historic event which greatly encouraged and pleased the Korean army and people.”

The only other nation with a media that universally applauded North Korea’s reported test was Iran: another nation that controls its national media.

Part of our interest in Vietnam involves Mrs. "Cuc" Foshee who is an American citizen held in jail in Vietnam.

According to the Orlando Sentinel in a story on October 9, 2006: "Foshee, a U.S. citizen, was taken into custody Sept. 8, 2005. She was not charged, not allowed to post bail, denied an attorney and put in a prison in Ho Chi Minh City, her family says. Her case has now become a cause for Vietnamese advocacy groups in this country."

The Communist insurgents in the Philippines, Chavez and the Castro brothers also applauded it. Those are the public cheerleaders, privately, every hater of the West / the US also applauded. That is what we face.
