Team America vs. real life

This is from Team America: World Police:
Hans Blix: Mr. Il, I was supposed to be allowed to inspect your palace today, but your guards won't let me enter certain areas.
Kim Jong Il: Hans, Hans, Hans! We've been frew this a dozen times. I don't have any weapons of mass destwuction, OK Hans?
Hans Blix: Then let me look around, so I can ease the UN's collective mind. I'm sorry, but the UN must be firm with you. Let me in, or else.
Kim Jong Il: Or else what?
Hans Blix: Or else we will be very angry with you... and we will write you a letter, telling you how angry we are.
This is real life:
UN nuclear watchdog chief Mohamed El Baradei said Monday he was 'losing patience' with Iran's lack of transparency about its controversial nuclear programme ... 'I am running out of patience, the international community is running out of patience, the credibility of the verification process is at stake and I would like, come March, which is (the time of) my next report, to be able to clarify these issues.'
Update: Chirac is also mad! And not just at Iran but North Korea too -- no doubt Kim Jong Il is shaking in his boots.
