Bill Clinton is reported to have met with Kim Jong Il recently in an unannounced trip to North Korea. He was involved in the freeze on nuclear activity during his Presidency, so maybe he still has influence now? Who knows. Maybe he is there for the two journalists? Either way, he is the highest profile American to visit since Madeleine Albright in 2000.

North Korea is being more provoking and belligerent than ever recently. They’ve threatened:
“If the US and its followers infringe upon our republic’s sovereignty even a bit, our military and people will launch a one hundred or one thousandfold retaliation with [a] merciless military strike,”
Pretty intense! Their current missiles have the theoretical capability of reaching Alaska. According to an interview in the article below, it would be a couple of years before North Korea could be a real threat to the West Coast of America.

United States Intelligence has confirmed that Kim Jong Un, Kim Jong Il’s third son, will succeed Kim Jong Il as dictator of North Korea. It remains to be seen how similar to his father Kim Jong Un will prove to be. Remember to pray for this man, as he will soon inherit the most volatile state in the world. If he is anything like his father, then the future is anyone’s guess. So let’s pray that God softens his heart before he even begins the process of taking over.

Seems that Laura Ling and Euna Lee will go on trial in North Korea in early June. Probably a really scary time for them…being on trial in North Korea. I can’t imagine the judicial system being extremely favorable with these two girls from the US. The girls have been held for two months. In fact, since March 30 there has been no contact with them. The United States does not actually have direct relations with North Korea; so Sweden is actually talking to North Korea on behalf of the United States.
