I've been a little tied up today, so until I get back into full swing, enjoy this brief portrait of socialist paradise (which, of course, is not open to the citizens of the starving nation, but only to foreigners).
Visitors look at a portrait of North Korea's late leader Kim Il Sung, right, and leader Kim Jong Il at the Diamond Mountain in North Korea, Sunday, June 10, 2007. North Korea is peeling back its self-imposed veil of isolation, allowing tourists a rare glimpse of hard-scrabble rural life in the impoverished country en route to a new hiking trail that opened this month at the South Korean-run Diamond Mountain resort.(AP Photo/Ahn Young-joon)
