Life Imitates 'Team America'
"A University of Washington professor has done what U.S. political leaders have failed to do for more than a year: hold talks in North Korea aimed at averting a nuclear crisis," the Seattle Times reports:

While official negotiations have been stalled since last June, veteran East Asia professor Donald Hellmann visited North Korea for three days last week to conduct what he called the first international academic conference ever held there. . . .

Thursday through yesterday, he and more than 20 scholars from the United States, China, Japan, Russia and South Korea met in a North Korean mountain resort not far from the South Korean border. In a compound surrounded by armed North Korean soldiers, they discussed the North Korean nuclear stance and what it would take to make future talks successful.

A review of "Team America: World Police" makes clear where this idea originated: "The head of worldwide terror, Kim Jong Il, is preparing a 'peace' conference to be attended by all the world's leaders, lured to North Korea by the gullible Alec Baldwin and his Film Actors Guild. Only Team America can stop Kim Jong Il and his diabolical plan."
