Aha, so it's not just me.

"According to Patten, one of the few Western politicians to have  
actually met Kim, the Korean leader was baffled by the change in  
emphasis when the Bush administration took control of the White House"
"Since 9/11 [Patten] has campaigned for constructive dialogue with  
Tehran and Pyongyang on uranium enrichment.
Indeed, we reckon the Dear Leader's nuclear noodlings are a cry for  
attention: to borrow from the Reverend Al Green, Kim Jong-Il is just  
tired of being alone.
We would of course qualify that with Patten's own assertion that Kim  
is "as mad as cheese"."
