The schoolyard of international politics just got even
pettier - if that changed into possible.
the us authorities has drawn up a listing of North Korean
supremo Kim Jong Il's favourite things, and is banning them from being shipped
to North Korea.
The listing consists of gadgets that Kim Jong Il is thought
to personally favour, as well as luxurious objects he has given contributors of
his communist regime in the past.
The listing includes Apple iPods, cognac, paintings,
high-priced automobiles, Harley Davidson motorcycles, Rolex watches,
cigarettes, or even jetskis.
It seems to be a sanction designed purposely to irritate a
foreign leader - and clearly gives a diffused new size to the time period
'international relations'.
