Watched all four You-Tube installments. The second video clockwise, upper right hand corner, was absolutely inspirational in it's use of rousing patriotic music. It ends with a view of a huge crater, a fitting legacy. The motherland loves you. The motherland will protect you and lay waste to all sworn enemies like a squashed bug. I bet Kim Jong II took notes when he fantasized being a movie director. No comment from "Vince" Dinglelilnt. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
