Guess Who's in Bed Together?

We may not be making too much progress on the nuclear issue, but we've gotten a good start: name calling. United States, you're first:

America: Tyrant!

North Korea: Hooligan!

America: Dangerous person!

North Korea: Philistine!

America: Bully!

North Korea: Bush is a world dictator whose hands are stained with the blood shed by innocent civilians.

America: Ass.

We've sure got some good foreign policy going on. Last night's Saturday Night Live had some pretty funny comments on it, too. One of my favorites was Rachel Dratch's character "Debbie Downer", where the sketch ended with her saying, "Guess who's in bed together? North Korea and nukes."

And now Iran is getting some of their own, and everything looks like we're totally screwed. But don't worry, we've got Iraq under control. Unfortunately they don't have any weapons of mass destruction, while two of the most unpredictable dictators do have them (or will soon have, in the case of Iran). But don't forget! Iraq has elections.

While North Korea has nukes.

Let's get rational, Americans. You've already pretty much blown it by your votes of "More of the same!" What are we getting done? What are we capable of getting done? A lot more than what we're doing now.

Now that I think of it, it was pretty common sense to invade Iraq, at least, in Bush's mind. If we had tried something crazy like diplomacy, it wouldn't have worked at all. Look what's happening now, when we try to come to terms with the person who's armed currently.

Whew, let's calm down from my rhetoric...with another quote from SNL. On "Weekend Update", Tina Fey reported that Bush said, "If it's required, America can send 70% of the marines to South Korea while sending another 70% to Iran, while maintaining our current 70% in Iraq." I paraphrase.

***( meaning I'm off the topic of North Korea)

I found this pretty interesting. Since today is May Day (I like to call it May 1st) , everyone (workers worldwide) decided to protest over rights, fueled by a brand spanking new pope who called for, "working conditions (that) will be ever more respectful of the dignity of the human person." By everyone, I mean excluding communist China who's not really into that kind of thing.
