Wake Up!
Well, I woke up this morning to the news that Kim Jong-Il had finally done it. He tested his nukes in an underground test that was felt in several Asian nations. Lovely.We now live in a world where the #2 Psychopath of the world has measured the length of his penis. (I reserve the #1 spot for that freak show in Iran.)
I am really angry. I am. The DPRK is essentially mugging the USA. Kim Jong-Il seems to think that we are going to bend over and take it - and we may yet if the Democrats have anything to say about it. It really makes me angry that this SOB is still alive and making his threats.
He wants unilateral talks with the US, doncha know. Nevermind the fact that this is diplomatically irresponsible. The last time we acted "unilaterally" we earned the enmity of the rest of the western world (save England and Australia). The suggestion that the US should meet alone with the DPRK is beyond stupid.
The people with the greatest interest in the situation - namely South Korea, Japan, China, and Russia - all need to be at the table. Imagine how phenomenally stupid it would be for us to negotiate peace with Hezbollah on our own. It leaves the likely victims completely out of the discussion! We are not their representatives - they can speak for themselves. It is not up to us to sell them down the river, either.
The DPRK's insistence on two-way talks with the US amounts to little more than a mugging in a dark alley. If we don't meet their demands, they nuke us, or somebody else. Then, they get to tell the world that we wouldn't feed their starving people. Somehow I suspect that the MSM will miss the obvious point - that if Kim Jong-Il were worried about his people, he would have spent his nuke money on food.
This is asinine. If we don't deal swiftly and harshly with Kim Jong-Il it will embolden Iran's resident psychopath who believes it is his destiny to bring about the end of the world. The rest of the hand-wringing idiots who believe there is still time for diplomacy need to wake the fuck up. Kim has nukes and is prepared to use them. Mahmoud wants nukes, will do anything to get them, and believes it is his destiny to use them.
Do you want to wait any longer? 'Cause I don't. I don't want us to be held hostage anymore, walking this fine line between wackjobs. I don't like thugs. I don't like it when a foreign nation holds us up and asks for our wallets and jewelry.
These SOBs need a bullet between the eyes before they manage to destroy the world.
