After North Korean leader, Kim Jong Il announced that he would continue his nuclear weapons program, and showed as much by launching nuclear test missiles, the U.N. got together and decided to impose a tried and true strategy to…you know, get K.J.I. in line. With the connivance of the United States, they imposed sanctions on North Korea. And we all know how well sanctions have worked in the past on Looney Toons dictators, like say, for example, Saddam Hussein.

Over and over again, the U.N. imposed sanctions on Saddam for a period of ten years. Citing history, conservatives insisted that sanctions did little to sway the policies of dictators. Instead, they argued that many of the sanctions actually hurt the average Joe’s living in Iraq. You know, the very ones the accursed libs claim they care so much about.

Anyway, Hussein continued with his thuggery, intent on developing his WMD program at every level. With a decade of sanctions and empty threats under their belts, the spineless liberwocks at the U.N. kept on chanting, “We need to give diplomacy a chance.” A decade of blatant defiance did little to dampen their spirits. Doing the same thing and expecting a different result is just part of how the libs do business. In the end, it was only with brute force that we were able to get Saddam Hussein to comply with the U.N.

Fast-forward a decade and a half. A similar scenario is being played out again, this time with pinko commie Kim Jong Il. The latest drama unfolding in Asian waters between a Korean ship suspected of carrying illicit weapons and U.S. surveillance ships, underscores the functional insanity of both our administration and the U.N. The current U.N. resolution is another in the long litany of idiotic sanctions leveled at people they expect to act reasonably…’cause you know, that’s what commie dictators do. They act reasonably. They have the same set of values that liberals do: Peace, love and dope…er…uh, I mean hope. Seriously, though, liberals actually believe that nutbars like Kim Jong Il will be reasonable. That they can just impose their little arms embargo and he’ll fold like an accordion and stop acting like what he is: an insane, megalomaniac, communist dictator with psychedelic tendencies and a love of Ray-Bans.

One of the things which fired me up about this is that the AP called these sanctions “toughened.” Here’s an example of just how tough the U.N. sanctions are. Basically, North Korea is barred from shipping illicit arms to other countries- and to enforce that sanction, the U.S. and/or any other country that has knowledge of North Korea violating this resolution will board and search the Korean ships…with their consent. Yeah, you heard right. We’ll just sail right up to the ship in question and ask the captain if we can search it. In deference to our authority, the captain will comply. That is after all, what crazy/evil people do. Makes a lot of sense to me. I mean, why wouldn’t North Korea allow us to search their ships, especially if those ships are suspected of violating the U.N. resolution? Here’s how I see it going down.

U.N. Inspector: Excuse me, North Korean Ship’s Captain, but may we please inspect your ship, as we believe it may be carrying illicit weapons and thus violating our toughened arms embargo against your country?

N. Korean Ship’s Captain: No

U.N. Inspector: Uh…No???
N. Korean Ship’s Captain: No.

U.N. Inspector: Really? No???

N. Korean Ship’s Captain: You makayn fun-o-my bwoken Engwish. Did I stutter? The answer is NO! Now get the hell off of my ship you weak-assed liberal pansy!!!

U.N. Inspector: (turning to his fellow liberal pansy colleagues) I guess we just need more time to allow diplomacy to work. Ten years should be enough.
