Norks Tear Up Treaties with South Korea. What’s Kim’s Game?
Umm…uh oh? SEOUL (AFP) — North Korea said Friday it is scrapping all political and military agreements with South Korea, including one on their sea border. The statement from the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea, a body handling cross-border relations, accused the Seoul government of pushing relations “to the brink of a war.” [...]
From Nightmare to Museum Exhibit
This is a positive sign, I think. On the two-year anniversary of Saddam’s death by hanging, Iraq is preparing to open a new museum that will allow Iraqis to see up close such macabre mementos of mass executions, torture, and other atrocities committed in Saddam’s decades-long rule. … It will showcase torture devices such as [...]

One of the problems with relying on the international community is that by the time someone says “enough is enough” to a “blood-stained regime”, the blood has pretty much dried. Gordon Brown, Prime Minister of Great Britain has finally discovered the ruination that Robert Mugabe made of Zimbabwe and has had enough. Of course, “enough” [...]
Meanwhile, in the Rest of the World…
While we’re up here bickering over the election, the tyrants around the world are still perfecting their repugnant craft. Hugo Chavez, Hollywood’s second-favorite tyrant, has expelled Human Rights Watch from Venezuela. He claims they’re in cahoots with President Bush to overthrow him. Strangely enough, he’s half right. Though HRW and the President aren’t working together, [...]
