Hans Brix!

Here comes that letter to Kim Jong Il telling him how angry the UN is

NEW YORK (CNN) -- The five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council have agreed on a resolution that would expand and tighten sanctions on North Korea, two senior Western diplomats at the United Nations said Wednesday.

The permanent members -- China, France, Russia, Britain and the United States -- reached the agreement in consultation with Japan and South Korea.

The council began discussions late Wednesday morning. A vote is possible Thursday or Friday, according to several diplomats, including French Ambassador Jean-Maurice Ripert.

The agreement comes amid rising tension with North Korea, which recently conducted a nuclear test, fired test rockets, and threatened U.S. and South Korean ships near its territorial waters. The nuclear test and the firing of six short-range rockets same in late May.

(That spelling error in the last sentence is in the original CNN story, btw; I guess CNN'c editors have the same level of training as UN Nuclear inspectors)

That sound you hear is the NKs rolling on the ground in laughter. But don't despair! The One has set his laser-like focus on cash-for-clunkers...whilst Kim is focused on clash-from-bunkers.

They also need to decide if they're going to use the Oxford comma or not.

Ugh.
