North Koreans Praise President Bush for Calling Their Dictator "Mr. Dictator": How Dumb Can They Get?

The government of North Korea is praising President Bush for calling President Kim Jong-Ill “Mr. Kim Jong-Il.” This came a few days after the North Korean government called Vice-President Cheney a “blood-thirsty beast” after Cheney referred to the North Korean President as “irresponsible.”

Respectfully, North Korea should fire that SOB Jong-Il, and take care of the North Korean people who have suffered greatly the last couple of years from starvation, mysterious explosions and disease, and ban the North Korean communist party.

And President Bush shouldn’t use the “Mr.” in a civilized context with President Kim Jong-Il. He doesn’t deserve to be called by that honorific reference. He’s allowed millions of his people starve to death and used his military to keep the North Korean population from protesting against his mismanagement of North Korea’s food supply (among other things). His military seems to be eating pretty well he doesn’t look like he’s starving to death either.

So instead of playing word games with the U.S., North Korea really ought to secure international help in taking care of average North Koreans, and the six-way talks are the perfect place to start that process.

But North Korea’s blustering conduct so far has not resulted in favorable terms for the communist regime. They need to get with the program, forget about nuclear weapons and rejoin the community of nations. They need to make nice with their neighbors, so that their neighbors will help them with peaceful efforts, such as stabilizing the starvation problem that the North Koreans are trying to ignore.
