Question:
In your opinion which nation is the biggest threat to the US? Iran, Iraq or NKorea?

We have been trained to believe in recent years that Sadaams mafia or North Koreas paranoia are more immediate. But the mafia responds with caution to superior force and I suspect North Korea aint about to committ suicide.
On the other hand, iran occupies plenty of territory and has a large population and could become a nuclear player. If the nascent budding democracy is overwhelmed by the clerics, the US could be in deeper trouble there than with the others. You might be able to buy sadam off like Khaddafi. You may be able to buy the Nkoreans off with food. What could you use to buy off the crazy ayotollahs? mike
