Evil dictatorships tend to stick together...

indeed....

Doesn't sound very constructive, Saddam has never shown any signs of doing what is in the best intersts of Iraq up to now.
Neither has America if it comes to that.

(edit) Now if they were to offer Bush a mountain hideaway ... (/edit)

i bet it's a volcano lair.

all he needs now is a giant "laser"

Bilbo Baggins · 3rd March 2003, 12:51

That'd be pretty cool though.

zootm · 3rd March 2003, 14:38

it could be that i'm just not taking any of this craziness seriously any more, but for some reason the NK govt always have me in stitches. i mean, they're just trying to piss people off, aren't they?

Vie · 3rd March 2003, 17:20

Looks it to me zootm

John M · 3rd March 2003, 19:57

that'd make it sooooooo much easier to get rid of both of them. /me likes, /me likes.

zootm · 4th March 2003, 10:05

i'm trying hard not to agree with you, john.

the world would be missing a bit of international crisis humour if the NK govt. was destroyed, though.

Yeah, NK is like a little annoying Yap-Yap dog thinking it can devour people.

What they really want is to be seen as a "player" on the World Stage- but they always make complete fools of themselves. They will make their last mistake eventually...

my flatmate has a kind of counter-point idea about that, actually - he thinks they just know how far they can push the american govt., and are trying to milk them for all they can get. and so far, it's working, if you look at it. i think they're just pissed that america didn't uphold their agreement about the nuclear program.

Xerxes · 4th March 2003, 10:24

NK was the one who violated the Clinton Nuclear Program!

zootm · 4th March 2003, 10:29

eh? blast, it appears the confounded british media is wrong again! i do know they were under no obligation to not have a weapons program when they said they were restarting, as the US side of the bargain had not been met. i don't know what happened before that, however...

lol. sounds like an "it's our word against yours" argument to me. it sounds a lot like either the US misunderstood NK, then NK decided to rashly capitalise on this, or like like NK went a bit nuts, and decided to take over the world. there was an additional piece of news reported at the time that US had already breached the conditions of the agreement - whether it was removed/incorrect is unknown to me. i would look it up, but it takes approx. 30seconds-1minute for each page to load on my present connection. i'll possibly try again from home. if i don't reply, take it as an admission of confusion

Xerxes · 4th March 2003, 10:58

It is admittedly confusing.

But in their diplomatic communiques, they should really know their place as a backwards gulag-nation.

Bilbo Baggins · 4th March 2003, 11:23

I think that the North Koreans are trying to provoke the US so that they can stir up mass hatred within NK against the US, so that the people have their minds taken off the fact that they are starving.
