I liked King of War David Betz's summary of what we actually learned from the WikiLeaks files so much that I am lifting my ban on the subject to quote it:

1. North Korea, complete arseholes -- even the Chinese have outgrown them.

3. Iran, such manifest dips***s that even their neighbours want them dead.

Ok, the ban is back on now.
