Over the weekend Kim Jong Il or Lil Kim – as I like to call him - unsuccessfully launched a rocket, that North Korea called peaceful but the international community deemed a threat. Even though the rocket did not successfully make it into orbit – instead crashed in the ocean – it did give the crumbling nation some bargaining power when disarmament talks eventually resume but will add to public suffering in the short term, as further sanctions will likely be imposed. Although I’m not sure there is much more the international community can do, North Korea is already one of the most economically depressed countries in the world, regularly unable to produce enough to feed its population but I'm sure UN member nations will try to make them suffer meanwhile Lil Kim will continue to sip Cognac surrounded by Swedish "ladies."
