"Iran is a state sponsor of Islamic fundamentalism."
However, that nation is already liberalizing..its a great chance to try the free-market capitalism alternative.
"North Korea exists for the benefit of one nutcase and his family."
You may be correct about North Korea...but I feel diplomacy and trade should be the first alternative. Let us see how ambitious Jong-Il is....and if that doesn't work...he certainly wouldnt want to nuke the place where most of his favorite pop culture comes from!
Politics is the continuation of war by other means.
I'm not concerned about the nutcase nuking anyone. I'm concerned about him selling a nuclear device for the hard cash to pay for the pop culture. I don't think he's going to be picky about who he sells the nuke.
