Good News of the Week

I look for good news every day but it's hard to find. The Russians made me smile today when they called Ahmadinejad a demagogue and effectively told him "we kicked your ass once and we'll do it again". I wish that america had such leaders, such men that aren't afraid to speak plainly. Our leaders sound like old women mostly.

Never mind that Russia has been helping Iran develop nuclear weapons. They keep their Persian dog on a short leash and make it sit and be quiet on command. Ahmadinejad will do as he is told. You have to admire that!

The neanderthals in North Korea roared today that they would start "immediate war" if anyone messes with them. Yawn. The Chinese will keep Kim on his leash even as Obumba grovels to Wen Xiaboa for help with the hermit kingdom.
The real story is that China, South Korea and Japan are having a talk about the sinking of the Cheonan. The US wasn't invited because we are irrelevant. China is the rising power in the world and both South Korea and Japan understand this reality. They also understand that the US is bankrupt, failing and soon to be as relevant as the UK on the world stage.

Thanks Vladmir and Wen for being men and making me smile!
