Two American reporters have been put on trial in North Korea for sneaking into the country illegally from China. This is just a small story on what will likely be a much larger issue in the days to come. These two American reporters knowingly broke the law and knew the consequences that could come with doing so, at the same time North Korea looks like it is trying to make a statement that it should be taken seriously in the world. Unfortunately it is hard to take Kim Jong-il as a legitimate leader when much of his country is starving, and or unemployed much of the time while he lives in a palace and is in the process of implementing a costly nuclear weapons program.
