No, just being crazy isn't sufficient to conquer the world. Ask Idi Amin

I was sure someone would mention that threat to global stability from Uganda. But what about the proliferating and probably nuclear-armed North Korean whackjob?

I suppose he's harmless, too, proliferation notwithstanding.

No one is talking about Iran conquering the world.

And as far as Germany being an advanced industrialized state after WWI, my comment is: "So what."

If a country as resource poor and unindustrialized as NKorea can be a substantial nuclear problem, what about a poor and unindustrizlized one armed with nukes that happens to have gobs and gobs of oil and lies smack dab in the middle of the Persian Gulf and the Straits of Hormuz? Add "lead by madmen" to my comment, and all of a sudden your Amin point borders on the fatuous.

Little snippets of "incisive" comments don't cut it when the problem is a complex one. Unless, of course, you're trolling.
