By It seems like one segment of the American population doesn’t mind the recent provocations from North Korea:
Despite the seriousness with which the world takes North Korea’s missile and nuclear tests, the isolated country remains a rich source of humour for cartoonists, satirists and comedians around the world.
The diminutive, bouffant-haired leader, Kim Jong-il, has already been the star of a satirical full length cartoon, plaintively singing “I’m so ronery” in Team America, while plotting to blow up the world.
These days, it seems, every time North Korea rattles its sabres, the noise can be heard via the Internet.
Kim and North Korea are most frequently a subject of discussion on the various late night TV chat shows so popular in the United States.
“According to Kim Jong-Il’s biography, they say he has been constantly accused of dishonesty, drunkenness and sexual excess. So if he lived here, he could be in Congress,” Jay Leno said on his show.
“North Korea conducted a nuclear test and the blast was so small that many scientists are saying it was a dud. Apparently, the nuclear bomb didn’t work well because it was made in Korea,” jibed Conan O’Brien.
Okay that last joke wasn’t funny, but Jay Leno’s joke was funny as usual.

You haven't put up a post about the Iraqi's having an independence day party that the US troops are leaving their cities. This is probably another example of why the US should take the leadership out of rogue countries and then let the locals sort out their civil wars. Just because America "breaks" a country, doesn't mean it has to fix it.

The independence party was a just propaganda as there will still be 130,000 US troops stationed in Iraq indefinitely (at least 15 -20 years) in bases scattered around the country.

Yes, they won't be in the cities, but they will be right outside it.
