The North Koreans will sell anything to anybody for hard currency. If Al Queda came up with enough dollars to buy a nuclear weapon from North Korea I don't have any doubt that the North Koreans would sell it to them.

Obama sees America as another country on the UN role call. Somewhere between Albania and Zimbabwe.

Every country has an aspect to it that rubs up people the wrong way.

Everybody pursues their national interests. The only one who gets blamed for it is the United States.

The only way to resolve the North Korean problem is to change the regime.

Iran is barely over 50% Persian, and Arabs, Baluchis, Azeris, Kurds and many other groups feel left out of the society. That regime has a lot more weaknesses than people see.

If you get a President (Hillary) Clinton, you might well find, just as after Vietnam, that there is a retraction from Iraq and of American influence in the world. And in a couple of years the Europeans will be complaining about that too.
