Foreign Policy Follies

Apparently there's a place for Iran at the Syrian Peace Talks.

While me and my like-minded friends think this is entirely stupid, one of them pointed out in tongue in cheek fashion:  Well they are a combatant after all.

They are indeed.

But international idiocy isn't only confined to the middle east. 

Shortly after the New Year, Kim Jung Un's uncle was executed in a particlarly lurid way--he along with five others were stripped and fed to a pack of 120 starving dogs.  Now, the typical news agencies are doing their best to debunk this story.  But as Euronews points out--that's not really the point.

Either way, Chang Song Thaek's execution didn't stop Dennis Rodman and some of his buds from visiting North Korea to put on an exhibition show for Kim Jung Un's b-day

Back here in the US, Jesse Jackson has "Rodman's back" praising the former NBA player's "diplomatic efforts."

Too bad this b-ball stunt wasn't a supposed rumor like the North Korean execution-by-dogpack.
