Oh, so now North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il has “expressed regret” over shooting off a nuclear weapon? The only reason he’s being contrite is because his trigger-happiness has hurt his little ol’ wallet:
Also Friday, employees of Chinese banks said they have suspended financial transactions to North Korea under orders from Beijing. China is the North’s main trading partner, and the step could be a serious blow to its frail economy.

I think you’re being kind of hard on the poor little guy. I for one believe he really means it.

Yes, I’m a “neo-conservative” without any feelings. Poor Kim has starved 3 million of his people to death while he watches James Bond movies, sips scotch, and revels in his harem of under-age, girl sex-slaves.
I need to enter a 12-step program to straighten out my sensibilities.
