Say what you will about 'Lil Kim Jong, the man has always known how to make an entrance.

You see, Mr. "President" when you:

1. list a few countries as belonging to the "axis of evil" and then,


2. when you're deciding which one to invade based on the phases of the moon, the spilled entrails of goats, or however you arrive at these catastrophes you call "decisions", and then,


3. based on the smoking entrails, you pick Iraq, the one that DOESN'T have the nuclear weapons, well, that sends a message.

And that message is:

"Hey, tinpot dictators! Get some nukes or I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your regime in!"

Since most tinpot dictators get to be tinpot dictators not because they're "madmen" but because they're smart and ruthless, they tend to pay attention to signals like that.

North Korea to Moron in the White House: "Message received."
