North Korea - Hub of Axis of Evil?

Both North Korea and Bill Clinton are at it again. North Korea has decided that as long as they aren't going to abide by some of their agreement with us, they aren't going to abide by any of it, and so have restarted their plutonium based nuclear program and are telling the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) to take a hike. They also are telling the world that their army is ready to fight a death defying battle and deliver bitter defeat and death to the United States. One thing you have two admire about communist countries is their colorful language. Democratically elected politicians try to speak in the blandest of terms; repressive regimes get to let it all hang out, rhetorically speaking. But that's the only thing I can admire about the government of North Korea (or any other communist government), which has provided a stark contrast in the importance of political systems with South Korea. Whatever else you want to say about the Korean War, (or the Vietnam War, for that matter), history has clearly shown we were on theright side.

And Bill Clinton continues his Cliff Clavin routine by claiming that he had a plan to destroy North Korea's nuclear reactor. Just like he left behind a detailed plan to deal with al Qaeda in the oval office that George Bush somehow misplaced. The contents of that memo can now be revealed: "Do as I will say, not as I did. PS Whatever you do, don't send Jimmy!" The really interesting part of this is that Clinton is saying he would have gone to war with North Korea over their nuclear program - which is what George Bush is saying in regards to Iraq. Maybe it isn't the oil, maybe it's the mushroom cloud, stupid.

Iran, not wanting to be left out of the axis of evil, is building their own nuclear facilities. Strictly for power generation according to Iran, but they did forget to mention it to the IAEA, and they have postponed inspections after the IAEA asked them what they were doing. But who am I to doubt the official Iranian statements when North Korea seems downright proud of its double dealing?

So many lying, conniving, murdering regimes, so few Marines.
