How petty can you get?

Bush banning i-Pods to N. Korea to get Kim Jong Il's goat.

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration wants North Korea's attention, so like a scolding parent it's trying to make it tougher for that country's eccentric leader to buy iPods, plasma televisions and Segway electric scooters.

The U.S. government's first-ever effort to use trade sanctions to personally aggravate a foreign president expressly targets items believed to be favored by Kim Jong Il or presented by him as gifts to the roughly 600 loyalist families who run the communist government.

I mean, really, how petty can you get? It's like three year olds in the sand box fighting over their toys.

Will the adults please step in and take over?
