This is why people laughed when the Bush Administration (VERY CLEVERLY IN THE EARLY DAYS!) slapped on the embargo for North Korea to get ANY luxury goods: high class cars, gold watches, expensive brandies, chocolates, designer goods, 寿司、海栗, perfumes).

Some uninformed people who dont know how the place worked thought, "OH JUST GREAT, THE NORKIES WHO ARE STARVING TO DEATH ON TREE BARK ARE GOING TO MISS THESE LUXURIES."

No, it was a brilliant move based on DPRK analytical information that showed that in taking away Chia Pet's ability to the upper DPRK elite with goodies (because they hate his guts and will plug him when they have a chance), we could facilitate regime change.

If Obama had any sense, he would work to crack down on such luxuries again, as it will upset the Korean Workers Party elite circles and throw little Chia Pet's bribery game into a tizzy. LOL. THAT's when the shooting starts. When General Kim or General Ok or Director Kang don't get their Mercedes' or Estonian prostitutes or Godiva Chocolates..... ;-)
