North Korea missile test

I was reading the news today and saw that North Korea is possibly preparing a long range missile test. According to the news, this missile is capable of reaching the United States. Someone needs to take out Kim Jong ll! I know that it is easier said than done, but he needs to go. He's just like Saddam Hussein, as far as I am concerned.

I found some pictures online that was taken by a Russian web designer that had the opportunity to visit North Korea. These pictures are amazing! If you didn't know, North Korea is controlled in every way by the goverment. They have no freedom what so ever. Enjoy the pictures.

This is one of the main streets in Pyongyang, and the sad thing is that it's like this all the time.











Here's a picture of another street. Notice the old cars and buses.













North Korea is prepared in case of another war. See the big block boulders and pillars on the left and right side of the streets? These are dropped onto the street to block all traffic.











The DMZ (Demilitarized Zone). The right side (dirt side) is the North Korean side, and the left side (gravel side) is the South Korean side. This picture shows two North Korean soldiers on guard. There are South Korean soldiers on guard on the other side too.







These are two buildings that were built in the middle of the two sides. Notice the street on the top is so much nicer than the bottom one. The top is the south side and the bottom is the north side.








Beaches of North Korea. There are ELECTRIC barbed wire fences along the coast to prevent anybody from swimming across to the other side.









This is a North Korean tour guide aboard a US spy ship, "Pueblo", that was captured by the North Koreans. This ship is their biggest tourist attraction.









This is a US fighter jet that was shot down during the Korean War.











This is a picture of a hotel that was forced to stop it's construction in 1991.

















Top portion of the abandoned building.


















Everywhere you go, there are pictures of Kim Jong Il, and Kim Il sung hung on the walls. I read that you have to have two pictures hung in every home.
