In his role as the Captain of a Florida prison camp in the movie Cool Hand Luke, one of actor Strother Martin’s more famous lines was: “Some men you just can’t reach . . .”
Such is the case for international kooks Kim Jong Il of North Korea and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran. These men can’t be reached with diplomacy, logic and reason. There have always been psychos intoxicated on power and evil.
It’s incredibly naive and arrogant of the Obama blowhards to believe they can “talk” and reason through pragmatism with such people.
I suggest we instead give kooks like these enough rope to hang themselves. Sever all communications with rogue, whacky regimes until they prove to the world they no longer have rabies.
If we actually had a State Department concerned with protecting America and our allies instead of trying to teach the world to sing Kumbaya, it would have issued the following years ago:
“Effective immediately, the United States will have no communications with psycho regimes such as North Korea and Iran, as we know these nations are led by individuals who are nuttier than a Snickers bar.
“Should any nation launch a nuclear attack or use other weapons of mass destruction against the United States or our allies, we will immediately turn it into a heaping pile of rubble. Don’t believe us, Mr. Rogue leader? Just ask yourself this question: ‘Do I feel lucky?’ ”
The reason international terror punks Ahmadinejad and Kim Jung Il have launched missiles and threatened to wipe nations off the map is because neither respects Obama. They know his words cannot hurt them and think that is all he is: a wordy windbag.
As Kim Jong Il continued to launch missiles and set off underground nuclear blasts, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated the United States was considering placing North Korea back on the list of terrorist states.
Meanwhile, the International Den of Thieves & Scoundrels, more commonly known as the United Nations, is considering placing more sanctions on North Korea. Rumor has it that when he heard this news, Kim Jung Il muttered: “Ho-hum.”
While continuing to develop nuclear power, which President Obama now amazingly says Iran has a right to do, newly re-elected President Ahmadinejad has routinely threatened to wipe Israel off the map.
With President Obama going around the world apologizing and blaming America instead of standing up for it, we should expect kooks like these to continue to poke their crazy, nuclear-tipped fingers in our chest.
Nuts, kooks, whack jobs and evil regimes respond best when America governs and acts from a position of strength. President Reagan proved that when he forced the Evil Empire to “tear down that wall.”
American might, not hollow words, works. Windbag politicians are shallow and weak.
International kooks need to know they will be dealt with like a rabid dog should they ever try to bite. That’s because some men you just can’t reach.
