Unless China does something soon [about North Korea]we may be headed for a serious clash.

I believe China recently stated that they would oppose a UN resolution against North Korea.

China blocks Security Council on North Korea

Our allies in the region will have to be consulted before any action occurs. They, after all, will be the immediate recipients of the North Korean war machine

That was also the case with the neighbours of Iraq, none of which were consulted for its invasion.

They [Iran] have thus far rejected IAEA's Program 93+2's which would result in more stringent protocols and controls to prevent the development of nuclear weapons

Yes. As I said a couple of posts back to Jorj, I believe that Iran has restarted its nuclear program and is currently mining Uranium, because could not have missed the consequences of being on the "axis of evil", and it seems nuclear power is the only thing that will deter the US from "preemptive" action.
