Oh holy crap, is anyone actually surprised by this news?
SEOUL, South Korea -- North Korea announced for the first time today that it has nuclear arms and rejected moves to restart disarmament talks anytime soon, saying it needs the weapons as protection against an increasingly hostile United States.
Well...duh. I mean, we're the United States, man. Hostile is our middle name. We're like that bully in school that everyone "loved" but only because they were completely terrified of being called out by said bully. Oh, you guys know those bullies. Don't get me wrong, I'm not condoning North Korea's politics or whatever, I'm just trying to keep a little perspective here. Why is it okay for us to have nuclear weapons but no one else can have them? A simple question, yes, but one for which I can't seem to find an answer. Puzzling...
For months, North Korea has lashed out at what it calls U.S. attempts to demolish the regime of leader Kim Jong Il and meddle in the human rights situation in the North.
Hey man, human rights are very important to us. That's why we spend so much time helping out in Africa and...what? We don't? Oh, yeah, that's right. Sorry, my bad. Yeah, well, I guess you could say we're all for human rights, if you're the right human, that is. OOOOH, BURN! Yeah, Dubya will be chafing from that one for awhile. I mean....what? The President doesn't read my blog? Oh yeah, that's right again. Shit.
Would you sleep better if the U.S. embraced a "fairness" doctrine, and agreed to level the playing field and allow the North Koreans to pursue nuclear armament? Realize, when you're reading today's article from the CBC (an organization so liberal you might believe them),
http://www.cbc.ca/story/world/national/2005/04/27/north-korea-gas050427.html
that there is a good reason why most rational people (and most unrational - see John Kerry, Johnny Edwards and the amazing Al Gore) believe that the fascist regime of North Korea has lost its RIGHT to nuclear weapons.
Watch out, or the sleeping giant of communo-fascism might blow you out of bed one night. Consider that the only countries who have been asked to disarm by THE U.N. (NOT the United States - unfortunately)were and are sworn enemies of ANY capitalist Western nation. Namely US, specifically you and me, secure in our wooden houses. Pakistan, North Korea, Cuba and the U.S.S.R. (all countries with explicit aggressionist policies AGAINST the U.S.) have no business with nuclear weapons, and it was our business, you know - you and me...as Americans, to disarm them. They were and are our e-n-e-m-i-e-s. Also remember that the only time the U.S. has EVER used nuclear action was to end WWII. I don't know where you stand on a thirty-year embroiled conflict with Japan, but I know I sleep better in a bed than a gas chamber.
Ask yourself what's wrong with nationalism.
