OK, regardless of your opinion on the war in Iraq, you have to admit that this is cool, heartwarming, and encouraging: Insurgents Attacked, Voters Perservered (WP). Or as the Moonie-owned, ultra-right-wing propagandistic Washington Times puts it: Joy Explodes Across Iraq.

These folks braved bombs and death threats and nearly beat out the U.S. electorate on participation rates. That's awesome any way you cut it.

But now it's time for a new challenge. It's time we tackled a brutal, totalitarian state which actually does have The Bomb. Next stop--North Korea!
