Axis of Stupid

File this one under: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." In the mid-1990s, the United States promised North Korea two nuclear reactors in exchange for the Stalinist regime's promise to abandon its pursuit of nuclear weapons. But a promise from a Stalinist regime isn't worth a half-eaten Twinkie, so in addition to the two nuclear-power plants American taxpayers built them, North Korea now has nuclear weapons as well. More than a decade after America's colossal blunder, engineered by blunderer extraordinaire Jimmy Carter and okayed by blunderer ordinaire Bill Clinton, some Europeans wants to build Iran a nuclear power plant in exchange for the evilocracy's promise not to pursue nuclear weapons. The West may be neither willing nor able to block Islamic dictatorships from obtaining nuclear weapons. But this doesn't mean that the West should help them. If Iran, Iraq, and North Korea constituted the axis of evil, might we say, in light of the latest doomed reactor-for-nonproliferation trade, that Great Britain, Germany, and France constitute the axis of stupid?

Yeah, I read about the American deal in Coulter's Treason. Seems like Pyongyang is benefitting from a free marketplace of stupidity.

Let's send some of the "global wetting" we are getting up here in New England to those evil places.

Surprise! Surprise! Jimmy Carter and to a great extent, Bubba Clinton, playing the role of a useful idiot by a leftist dictator. Jimmy Carter has some type of fetish for getting sand kicked in his face by third world Marxist dictators.
