CC... point well taken. However, if Li'l Kim IS a threat to the region's stability, it will fall to China to act. The US will not get involved militarily without China leading the way... big business, in the US and in China, won't allow the trade between the east and the west to suffer due to western action against NK.

Iran has taken a much more moderate approach since the two most powerful military forces on earth were used unilaterally to take out the big kid on the block with extreme prejudice. The action was not aimed solely at Iraq but at the region : it certainly has changed the attitude of Iran, Syria, Libya, and others.

Then again, I know more about the NFL than global politics.
