According to US officials, North Korea’s ICBMs are capable of hitting any part of the United States. These North Koreans are an incredible lot, isn’t it? With all the sanctions in the world tying them down, they still managed to make ICBMs.
I am reminded of the father of a childhood friend, a rich man from central Travancore who owned vast estates and tea gardens in the high ranges, who was summoned by the college principal to complain that his ward was a blessed nuisance. The principal showed him a tiny contraption which could create ruckus like nobody’s business during lectures. Whereupon, the slightly inebriated estate owner examined the tiny thing making such irritating noise, and with an eye on his son, told the principal, ‘Father, I didn’t know my son is so clever.’

We know so little of North Koreans. Yesterday Fox News reported that North Korea has no power shortage. Eureka! But, my point is something else. Only the Americans seem to be in a flap.
There is some natural justice, after all, that the North Koreans are making the Americans realize how it is to live in the valley of death. The amazing part is that the world couldn’t care less if North Koreans now have ICBMs and can lob an atom bomb or two at California or Seattle. In fact, there is a total virtual blackout in the Chinese and Russian press. The indifference is stunning — yet, understandable.
This must be a classic case of schadenfreude. Most of our lifetime, we lived in abject fear of Americans. They could suddenly swoop down in their bombers and drop on us napalm bombs, Daisy Cutter, Pineapple, Walleye, Rockeye, what have you. Remember Flaming Dart and Rolling Thunder, the carpet bombing missions over North Vietnam between 1965 and 1968? The total tonnage of ordnance dropped approximately tripled the totals for World War II.
