Who comes up with these idiotic ideas anyway? I mean, this is damn embarassing, is what it is.
The Bush administration wants North Korea’s attention, so like a scolding parent it’s trying to make it tougher for that country’s eccentric leader to buy iPods, plasma televisions and Segway electric scooters.
The U.S. government’s first-ever effort to use trade sanctions to personally aggravate a foreign president expressly targets items believed to be favored by Kim Jong Il or presented by him as gifts to the roughly 600 loyalist families who run the communist government.
Kim, who engineered a secret nuclear weapons program, has other options for obtaining the high-end consumer electronics and other items he wants.
But the list of proposed luxury sanctions, obtained by The Associated Press, aims to make Kim’s swanky life harder: No more cognac, Rolex watches, cigarettes, artwork, expensive cars, Harley Davidson motorcycles or even personal watercraft, such as Jet Skis.
Oh yeah, they’ll be on the knees shortly begging us to stop these devastating sanctions.
SpokenRealism said,
First, please put down your government sponsored kool-aid, don’t need any spillage on your self-righteous white outfit..
Consider this and hum along if it makes you feel warmer and fuzzier..
Let’s say that 30,000,000 people voted in this person they call our president, who now believes himself to be the steward, the decider and the ruler of the world, …of 6,000,000,000 people.. The math clearly shows that 0NE HALF of ONE PERCENT of the population is forcing their version of life, of ‘freedom and democracy’, aggressively on the other 99.5% of the population of this planet~!
And if you dont like our ‘version’ of the pursuit of hapiness, and you dont like us telling you how to live, then we will bomb your country into submission.. until you do..
Invade, Kill, Bomb, Depose, Destroy, (in the name of peace of course), and that pesky national security, oh and maybe an Exxon station or 12.
Please read thoroughly the CONSERVATIVE AGENDA of GLOBAL DOMINATION at the Project for the New American Century at:

While your there, read who authored this fine piece of *work*.
They at the PNAC finally found a president dumb enough to progress their agenda, lock, stock and with both smoking barrels!!
Onward christian conservative soldier!! You have 99% of 6 billion lives to destroy, so you must hurry, you are wasting precious time… only after that amount of vast, utter destruction will conservative views be considered 50% of the populace.
Next Government please! Let’s try Peace, Libertarian style…
