In this April 8, 2012 photo, members of the international media rush with their cameras during an organized tour of the facility where the Unha-3 rocket stood at Sohae Satellite Station in Tongchang-ri, North Korea. In very different ways, North Korea, run by the same family as a Stalinist dictatorship since the 1940s, and Myanmar, run by a cabal of generals, have opened themselves up over the past year or so, allowing the world to peer behind the political curtains they had so laboriously erected, but the question of whether there has been any real change still remains.
