Earlier this month, North Korean leader Kim Jong-il died of a heart attack at the age of 69. Monday on RadioWest, we're rebroadcasting our conversation about the behavior of North Korea. This is about political culture. The scholar B.R. Myers is our guest. He describes the ideology of North Korea this way - race based paranoid nationalism.
