Kristof in Pyongyang

New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof has been filing a series of video dispatches from Pyongyang after being recently granted a rare visa by the North Korean government. I'm beginning to see why they gave him one. He concluded his latest column filed from Pyongyang by blaming the Bush Administration for the escalating nuclear crisis, and his latest video dispatch is about how tasty North Korean noodles are.
:
Hey Nick, you know what a far more interesting story on North Korea would be: why so many North Koreans don't have any noodles to eat. How about you make that the subject of your next column?
:
Update: Sent him the following email:
Mr. Kristof,

Instead of focusing on the tastiness of North Korean noodles, how about you devote a column or video segment examining why the North Korean government refuses to properly feed its people. I think that would be far more informative subject and a better use of your time in the country.

Thanks.

Colin
