Dictator's daughter takes the reins

Park Geun-hye, the daughter of a late military strongman, was sworn in today as South Korea’s first female president, warning North Korea that the primary victim of its pursuit of nuclear weapons and long-range missiles will be the isolated country itself. “North Korea’s recent nuclear test is a challenge to the survival and future of the Korean people, and there should be no mistake that the biggest victim will be none other than North Korea itself,” Ms. Park said in her inaugural address in front of the National Assembly building in Seoul. Maybe Iran can also learn the same lesson about its own nuclear tests one day. And speaking of Iran, a movie which told the story of the rescue operation that saved six Americans during the Iran hostage crisis has taken home three Oscars at the 85th Academy Awards, including the biggest award of the night: best picture. That's right, Argo has taken top prize at yet another award ceremony.
