Kim Jong Il Club formed in Jordan
An inaugural ceremony of Kim Jong Il Club was held in Amman on January 3. At the ceremony Marwan Sudah, chairman of the Arab Committee for Solidarity with the Korean People and Supporting the Reunification of Korea, was elected the chairman of the club. Can I have your autograph, Marwan? Speakers at the ceremony expressed support for the Korean people's cause and denounced the U.S. moves to suffocate the DPRK. "The enemy of my enemy is... ummm... a lunatic." A resolution adopted at the ceremony expressed gratitude to the Korean people for their support to the Arab cause and said that the club was formed to introduce the cause and personality of leader Kim Jong Il on the occasion of his birthday February 16 and strengthen the friendly and cultural ties between the peoples of the DPRK and Jordan. Jordan has its faults, and one of its faults is the large number of people within its borders who are stupidly anti-American. Now, you can be reasonably anti-American. You can disagree with us on all sorts of things, be they matters of culture, the appropriate degree of involvement of government in the lives of a nation's citizens, our insistence of maintaining our military strength, or our propensity for exporting Kentucky Fried Chicken joints to places where people like to eat fried chicken. If you're stupidly anti-American, though, you just hate us because... because... well, just because. So as a result of "just because" you form Kim Jong Il clubs, and pretend to hope your country will someday become a Stalinist economic backwater with a big army whose leadership becomes more incoherent with each passing day. That's weird. Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-01-14 |
