#3 Both. A solid, polished performance. Very consistent from start to finish, building up nicely to "The U.S. bellicose forces have staged frantic war exercises" in Par. 5 and " Their reckless military hysteria" in par. 6. Only the clunky "perpetrated unprecedented provocative moves" in par. 1 prevented a more substantial score.
I know I have been a lonely voice at times in my appreciation of New Wave Spittle. I yield to none in my reverence for Classical Spittle, but to me New Wave has a sweeping grandeur and a dynamic, pulsating rhythm that, in the finest work, can simply ravish the senses.
The Old Spittle dries up, and the New Spittle flows.

#4 Bagh! No 'sea of fire' and not much else. I'll give this a 4 - and I'm being generous.

#5 A five. But only because the article got up to speed in its rant, and the echo of Stalinism in the verbage.

#6 I am partial to the Arab variety. I guess it is a Classical/Jazz preference thing.

#7 I think they should get extra points for the "mental power" segment. Couldn't you guys feel the juche?
