The Bush Administration has come up with new and "creative" ways to obviously annoy Kim Jong Il...since military and diplomatic measures don't seem to be working they are taking away his luxury goods and liquor.
WASHINGTON - The Bush administration wants
North Korea's attention, so like a scolding parent it's trying to make it tougher for that country's eccentric leader to buy iPods, plasma televisions and Segway electric scooters. The U.S. government's first-ever effort to use trade sanctions to personally aggravate a foreign president expressly targets items believed to be favored by Kim Jong Il or presented by him as gifts to the roughly 600 loyalist families who run the communist government.
But the list of proposed luxury sanctions, obtained by The Associated Press, aims to make Kim's swanky life harder: No more cognac, Rolex watches, cigarettes, artwork, expensive cars, Harley Davidson motorcycles or even personal watercraft, such as Jet Skis.
WE HAVE CREATED A MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to the ever hyped American need for materialistic goods the only way to reach foreign officials is to take away their Ipod....Does anyone else see something terribly wrong with this senario?? Like who cares about water, food, shelter....just fucking take away their Harley Davidson motorcycle....hmmmm...
