Doug Bandow's suggestion is the smartest idea I've seen in quite a while. Get out of South Korea and let the rest of the region deal with Kim Jong Il while releasing needed assets to be used to better advantage elsewhere. It certainly makes more sense than getting out of Iraq and letting the rest of THAT region deal with Muqtada al-Sadr and his ilk -- although that's getting to be more attractive as time-and-a-half goes on.

That ought to give "The Dear Leader" something to think about! br> -- Bob Johnson /p> p> THE PRODUCERS br> Re: Ivan Osorio's Rules of Ridicule : /p>

It is interesting that Ivan Osorio's article was posted today. Just last evening TCM (Turner Classic Movies) showed a recent interview by Dick Cavett of Mel Brooks.

It reminded me of previous interviews of Brooks when asked why he always makes fun of various groups (Nazis, The Klan, Racists, Anti-Semites, etc.) in his movies, his reply was that it was the best way to minimize who they are and for what they stand. Basically, he was saying, "Make fun of them and laugh at them. You'll enjoy it while making their idiotic beliefs and them look stupid."
