BY HIS ENEMIES SHALL YOU KNOW HIM:

Why Kim hates George W (Sung-Yoon Lee, 2/17/05, Asia Times)

How US President George W Bush feels about Kim Jong-il we already know, from statements like "I loathe Kim Jong-il" and "axis of evil" and name-calling like "pygmy". What much of the world might not so readily know is that the loathsome, evil, less-than-statuesque North Korean leader hates the swaggering Texan with equal, or even greater, passion.

Over the past four years, North Korea's name-calling of Bush has been, well, colorful, to say the least. Belittled variously as "human trash", "political idiot" and "the world's worst violator of human rights", and besmirched as "lacking even an iota of elementary reason, morality and ability to judge as a human being", President Bush has attained a special place in the pantheon of North Korea's villains: South Korean monitors of the North's propaganda machinery tell us that of all the US presidents the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has lived with since its inception in 1948, George W Bush has been bombarded by the most North Korean invective and labeled with by far the greatest number of insulting epithets.


Nothing speaks better of Mr. Bush than who hates him.

Great! That's what I've always thought. Bush stands head and shoulders above his critics when comparing them. I mean the ones here in the good ole US of A as well.

What's scary is the idea that it's possible for there to be an American President who is loved by a little thug like Kim. Why would that be "a good thing?" What would that President look like? Algore? Kerry? Dean? St.Hillary?

The NORKS have the same gift for phrase making the Democrats have.
