Bloodless Coup

Apologies to Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Pervez confirms that Khan helped out North Korea. How do you suppose Dear Leader feels about Khan?

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling desperate

For the ends of Being and nuclear weapons.

I love thee to the level of everyday's

Most quiet need, to support North Korea's missile aspirations.

I love thee freely, as men strive for nukes;

I love thee purely, as they turn from treaties.

I love thee with a passion put to use

In constructing centrifuges, with thy enrichment.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

With my lost nuclear secrets, --- I love thee with the breath,

Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if Dear Leader choose,

I shall but love thee better after death and nuclear winter.
