North Korea calls for international help
After the explosion and the resulting "sea of fire":
It's great to see the famously disciplined Bush administration stepping up to the plate with an aid offer that would not only cost us virtually nothing, and be the Christian thing to do, but would be a rare gesture of goodwill (translation: "PR bonanza"). Oh, wait....
Secretive North Korea, in a rare admission of need, called for international assistance on Friday to deal with the huge explosion at a train station in which at least 150 people died.
The New York-based United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said a "formal request in response to the disaster" was received on Friday afternoon.
