Don't want no short, short man

You know, we’ve got North Korea getting all scrappy-doo on the right. And Iran trying to pick a fight on the left. You know what Kim Jong Il and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad have in common? They shorties.

Kim – 5’3”
Ahmadinejad – 5’2”

And both of them have a total hard on for picking fights with the “bigger” country. It’s like they can’t resist. Not that we can do anything about it. But the urge to pick them up by the scruff of the neck and give them a little shake is undeniable.

But maybe that’s the key. Could international policy just come down to who has a serious case of Short Man Syndrome? Is there some sort of need to pick a fight that comes with being vertically challenged? Could we eliminate the entire need for an electoral system if we just hand it over to the tallest guy?

Or even easier – just give it to a woman. We don’t care how tall we are.

By the way, Barack Obama? 6’1 ½”
