Constitution Change For South Korea's Hat

The boys up North changed their constitution's wording in April, but just recently have the changes found their way to the South.

Some of the changes include a definite term for Dictator Kim Jong-il and a stronger emphasis on the political standing of the nation.

From the BBC article:

'For the first time, the constitution refers to him implicitly as "supreme leader". ... It also endorses the role of the National Defence Commission - which he chairs - in national and foreign affairs.

And it places more weight on Kim's personal doctrine of "military first".'

While it's clearly an example of North Korea showing everyone how big they are in the trousers, it's still interesting to see the slight changes to the constitution that make the government even scarier to the people living there.
