Little Dictators Get Their Groove On
The big buzz today will be about tin pot (and prOn loving) dictator Kim Jong Il blowing off another nuke
North Korea announced on Monday that it had successfully conducted its second nuclear test, defying international warnings and drastically raising the stakes in a global effort to get the recalcitrant Communist state to give up its nuclear weapons program.
Word of the test sent a shudder through Asian financial markets and clearly caught South Korea and the United States off guard. The news hit just as South Korea’s government and people were mourning the suicide of former President Roh Moo-hyun. And hours after the test was reported, South Korean state media reported that the North had fired a short-range missile.
It caught Obama off guard? Shocker! Perhaps he should read the news now and then, rather then sites like Excitable Andy’s. He might have had a clue back in April. Jay has a good roundup of reactions.
Meanwhile, a favorite dictator of the the Left’s
A top diplomat defended Venezuela’s investigation into a leading anti-government television station, rebuffing the concerns of U.N. and OAS officials that President Hugo Chavez’s government is threatening free speech.
Venezuela’s ambassador to the Organization of American States, Roy Chaderton, accused the Globovision TV network of “media terrorism” on Saturday and said that foreign observers passing judgment on Venezuela are beholden “to the interests of the private media.”
Regulators are investigating Globovision for allegedly inciting “panic and anxiety” in its coverage of a minor earthquake on May 4. The station couldn’t reach the head of Venezuela’s seismological agency for comment after the quake, and criticized the government for its slow response.
Chavez is just doing in his country what the Left in America would like to do with the media, particularly Conservative talk radio. Silencing critics.
PS: Can anyone guess where the image in Kim’s glasses comes from? Larger size here.
Update by Jay: Obama sends a strongly worded warning!
Today, North Korea said that it has conducted a nuclear test in violation of international law. It appears to also have attempted a short range missile launch. These actions, while not a surprise given its statements and actions to date, are a matter of grave concern to all nations. North Korea’s attempts to develop nuclear weapons, as well as its ballistic missile program, constitute a threat to international peace and security.
By acting in blatant defiance of the United Nations Security Council, North Korea is directly and recklessly challenging the international community. North Korea’s behavior increases tensions and undermines stability in Northeast Asia. Such provocations will only serve to deepen North Korea’s isolation. It will not find international acceptance unless it abandons its pursuit of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery.
The danger posed by North Korea’s threatening activities warrants action by the international community. We have been and will continue working with our allies and partners in the Six-Party Talks as well as other members of the U.N. Security Council in the days ahead.
Wow! I bet Kim is shaking in his boots. We are going to discuss things with the U.N. Maybe we can give North Korea food and fuel for an empty promise again.

Is this 2009? Gee, given all the dictators on the march, I could have sworn it was 1939.
Lord Zero had better get his own mojo working; otherwise his one and only term will be nasty, brutish, and short.
Every day the headlines scream, “Danger! Danger, Will Robinson!”
Do you think Obama will do anything? Do you think the UN will do anything? What do you think Iran is taking away from this? Are you safer today than before Obama took office?
B. Hussein Obama just talks and hides behind the cover of the UN. The leaders in North Korea and even Iran can see right through this Socialist President. He only uses a few flowery words with a telepromter to remind us all he really cares. He only cares about himself and the leftist agenda he is promoting. When will the press wake up and hold him and his administration accountable? Expect more bad news about Iran and Noth Korea to follow.
