Not surprisingly, their answers closely refl ect the North Korean gov- ernment’s offi cial state- ments. From one, the sug- gestion that peace talks might work.

We have launched our ICBM and we will be fully prepared. If another war breaks out, we will be celebrat- ing another great victory just like the one we are celebrating today.” “If the U.S. never touch- es us, then everything will be OK.” Jon Kuk Chol, 31, stu- dent at the Pyongyang Printing and Publishing University: “Because our coun- try possesses nuclear weapons and ICBMs, war won’t break out.
