Have We Earned the Economic Prize for Stupidity Yet?

Since we helped create the Axis of Evil and Friends…
we might as well imagine what one of their meetings might be like...

Korean Delegate: Hey, man, have you been listening to what's going on?

Iranian Delegate: Yeah, I was listening to my radio and I don't understand it. India has never signed the Nuclear Anti-Proliferation Treaty...and they haven’t done anything to accommodate the US.

Syrian Friend: Right, but Bush is still going to give them their nuclear secrets?...

Pakistani Terrorist: Right on, figure that out, ole' chap. And there going to exempt eight processing locations from inspection. And they don’t give us squat!

Iranian Delegate: Is that supposed to be a joke. How come they’re making us sweat it out…

Korean Delegate: You don’t have mangos….

Syrian: Very funny!

Iranian: I guess it means that they don't care if we continue to enrich our materials...

Chinese friend: I know it makes no sense...

Lebanese Sympathizer: On the one hand, he's trying to say that peaceful applications for nuclear energy will reduce demands on oil.

French Islamic representative: But most of their power comes from coal energy.

Korean delegate: I know. Something isn't make much sense here.

Iranian delegate: Then he sends all of his country's better quality jobs there and says that Americans must upgrade to accommodate the jobs of the 21st century.

Syrian: Did you hear? Lou Dobbs asked the Labor Department precisely what those jobs were and he was told that they were for nursing assistants and food handlers.

Iranian: Yeah, big deal. What does that do for their economy. Twenty years ago, they thought that the service sector could replace manufacturing!

Chinese friend: What a laugh! Now we make most of their high tech stuff!...believe it or not. Not to mention all of their retail products—

Syrian: And they don’t make a damn thing over there anymore except cars and they can’t seem to build what the people want.

Chinese: Some call that arrogance! In a couple of years, we will have them doing our call forwarding and our accounting!

Syrian: Others think it comes from living in a bubble.

Korean: Maybe we shouldn't say anything because China's already taken over all of their manufactured goods and India's got them on the R&D and high tech jobs.

French sympathizer: What's left?

Iranian: Not much!....No, don't really think we have to worry about them much longer.

Korean: Right on, China owns the country; they have more than a trillion dollars of US debts in IOU's. They can buy the place any time they want.

Syrian: Now, they are selling the only thing they own to India for a song. Figure it out.

Iranian: And they're mad at us? Figure that one out!

Korean: It’s time to move on, guys. Start thinking about the real leaders; not those guys drifting into the Third World while waving their weapons around and not showing signs of a pulse. …

Iranian: You got that right, guys. We should just ignore those guys and line up with the true world powers: India and China…

Chorus: Amen to that!...
