The trouble with this thinking is that some people are nuts or never grow up and they could kill us all.

I actually think that N. Korea is acting more mature now that they have the option.

He was working on such a project and had a rudimentary dirty bomb under testing.

So...Keeping a bomb out of the hands of Aquavelvajihad should be a top priority.

Awfull comparison.

You might have an easier time comparing using a certain leader from the Western hemisphere.

old politcal adage - to quiet internal unrest, create an external threat - people unite to fight off an outside threat - the change in Iran has to come from within

Highly unlikely.
Iran's current president was elected.

U.S. foreign policy created the current situation. Instead of promoting true democracy in the region, they helped install a dictator in Iran, which then produced a people's revolution leading to present day Iran.

This will inevitably happen everywhere in that region because the U.S. continues to support the kings and dictators of the Middle East (Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Libya, Kuwait, etc.)
