Demagogue

Earlier this week, the totalitarian regime in North Korea issued a commentary amid U.S. reports that N. Korea may soon conduct or may have just recently conducted a nuclear test. According to the International Herald Tribune:

"It is a wise decision for [North Korea] not to expect any settlement of the nuclear issue or any improvement in its relations with the United States during Bush's term of office," said the commentary in Rodong Sinmun (a state-run North Korean newspaper). "Bush is the world's worst fascist dictator, a first-class warmaniac and Hitler, Junior, who is jerking his hands stained with blood of innocent people."

The newspaper said Washington's threat of persuading the UN Security Council to impose sanctions against the impoverished country would not affect its determination to "stick fast to the path we have chosen."

"The dog barks, but the caravan continues," it said. The commentary did not elaborate; anti-American diatribes are common in North Korea's media.

That's one hell of an understatement.

Over the past 4+ years, I've called President Bush quite a few names, but "Hitler, Junior" isn't one of them. Not yet, anyway.
