Say what you want about Kim Jong Un -- the man is good at inspecting things. After taking power following the death of his father in December 2011, Kim has taken a page out of dad and granddad's book and had himself photographed across the country looking, watching, and guiding his people forward in a propaganda campaign that appears designed to show the competence of the young leader. But as Ken Gause argues, there may be a method to Kim's seeming madness: He's trying to show that economic growth and development, not the country's military, is his top priority.
This photo, released in January 2012, shows Kim inspecting the future site for the Pyongyang Folk Park.
