Today the North is saying it's "not worth reacting", according to the NY Times.

Recent photographs in North Korea, from 5 photographers at Life magazine. I found the last photographer's notes most interesting. What would/will happen if/when the regime is overthrown? To paraphrase, for a people who know nothing other than that, with such a dark fantasy image of the outside world, it would be as traumatic as awaking from a 50-year coma, and probably more scary because you might not believe that the hospital staff wished you well.
