Thank goodness the U.N. Security Council voted to impose sanctions on North Korea. Otherwise, we might have to bomb them back to the Stone Age.
Whuzzat? Oh yeah, that’s right. They never left the Stone Age. Sanctions against them, especially ineffective sanctions aren’t going to bother them one whit. North Korea has a large network of secret front companies. This, coupled with its continuing supply of essential items from China, makes it rather unlikely any sanctions will be effective. But at least we can say we are “doing something.”
Condelezza Rice, the lovely and talented Secretary of State, continues to dazzle with her mental prowess, announcing that “North Korea … is now completely isolated.” Gee, Dr. Rice. Did you happen to notice that for the past fifty years North Korea has been completely isolated? I’ll give Condi’s intellect the benefit of the doubt here, and just assume she’s lying again. Or spinning, if that’s what you call it. There’s a better chance of Pyongyang becoming a spring break destination than these sanctions making Kim Jong-Il cry uncle.
Now, if the U.N. imposed sanctions on bad haircuts, then ol’ Kim would feel the pinch.
