Click here for an article from the international edition of Newsweek -- Wonkette posted portions of it by way of showing how Newsweek dumbs down big time for domestic consumption but runs great articles like this in the international edition.

My favorite portion?:

On Sept. 19, 2005, North Korea signed a widely heralded denuclearization agreement with the United States, China, Russia, Japan and South Korea. Pyongyang pledged to "abandon all nuclear weapons and existing nuclear programs." In return, Washington agreed that the United States and North Korea would "respect each other's sovereignty, exist peacefully together and take steps to normalize their relations.

Four days later, the U.S. Treasury Department imposed sweeping financial sanctions against North Korea designed to cut off the country's access to the international banking system, branding it a "criminal state" guilty of counterfeiting, money laundering and trafficking in weapons of mass destruction.

The Bush administration says that this sequence of events was a coincidence.

I'm sure they will handle the current North Korean issue with the same level of diplomacy.

Wait...

Oh crap! I bet they will!

Duck and cover everybody.
