No more iPods for the North Koreans

The Bush administration is trying to punish North Korea for its missile testing .

The way in which Mr. Bush is trying to do it is funny. US is going to ban export of certain items to North Korea by the US as well as its political allies.

The list of items which will be banned from being exported to North Korea and it allies include artwork, cognac, cigarettes, expensive cars, Rolex watches, Harley-Davidson motorcycles, personal watercraft, musical instruments, sports equipment, Segway scooters, and personal electronics, such as iPods and plasma televisions.

It is very sad what Bush administration is doing to the people of North Korea, who according to international organization are suffering from poverty.

Now people will struggle more because they will not be able to play an iPod, wear a Rolex watch or a Harley-Davidson.

I still wonder what the logic behind this decision is.

May be by denying them these goods, it will make the poor people of North Korea revolt against their regime?

Or may be is it that the Regime's leaders fed up with a life without iPod, Rolex, Plasma TV will stop its entire missile program and even the nuclear program?

Somebody please explain this to me!!!

Hey, i was also agitated when i read that news. But i would not have written a post against bush admin from that news, because their action is only laughable. The point of focus should be how big a mother fucker, Kim Jong-il is, for living a lavish life, killing his own people with poverty and talking about communism.
