North Korea's nuclear capability is this big!

Now that Pyongyang is admitting to having nuclear weapons and the US still can't find WMDs in Iraq (and Hans Blix is calling foul), do we not look like a bunch of jackasses now? I don't think the Iraq war was about stealing oil (having control of the second largest oil reserve to put pressure on Saudi Arabia -- now that makes sense). If it really was, however, about weapons of mass destruction, then gay-porn-star loving King George has more explaining to do than to just let Colin Powell say it's a "diplomatic issue." No, it's a crazy-guy-with-his-finger-on-a-red-button issue, and that makes me feel far less safe than Saddam Hussein ever did.

Oh, wait. It was about liberating an oppressed people. I'll let The Onion satirize that:

Tortured Ugandan Political Prisoner Wishes Uganda Had Oil

KAMPALA, UGANDA—A day after having his hands amputated by soldiers backing President Yoweri Museveni's brutal regime, Ugandan political prisoner Otobo Ankole expressed regret Monday over Uganda's lack of oil reserves. "I dream of the U.S. one day fighting for the liberation of the oppressed Ugandan people," said Ankole as he nursed his bloody stumps. "But, alas, our number-one natural resource is sugar cane." Ankole, whose wife, parents, and five children were among the 4,000 slaughtered in Uganda's ethnic killings of 2002, then bowed his head and said a prayer for petroleum.
