Zucchini Land

I keep waiting for world leaders to start using zucchini in their attempts to control Kim Jong-il and North Korea after their claimed nuclear weapons test. It seems that zucchini would be the obvious counter-strategy to the North Korean nuclear program, and I’m not sure why Bush and the UN keep talking about sanctions and things like that.

Maybe they don’t want to be seen as being tough on international nuclear aggression and treaty violations? Do they feel that zucchini would be too serious of a response, and maybe China or Russia would side with North Korea in the face of an international zucchini response to North Korea?

It’s hard to say, and I’m certainly not an expert in international diplomacy. But it seems like the potential downsides to using zucchini against North Korea are far less than the huge potential benefits. Kim Jong-il may be expecting a zucchini-based response, but there’s no practical way he can defend against it. Maybe everyone is taking advantage of the way he must be losing sleep over the fear of a zucchini response every night, and are using the threat of zucchini to scare him?

I guess it’s possible, but it doesn’t seem like that would be as effective as just actually going ahead and using zucchini on him. I’ll leave it up to the experts, but I’m beginning to think that they might not know all that much after all.
