Yes, exactly. There is a lot of talk about doing Regime Change, in N. Korea and Iran and Syria and......the list is long, the NeoCon wish-list. But there is no practical way to do it. Our army is fully committed, N. Korea can kill a million S. Korean civilians on the first day of Korean War II. N. Korea and Iran will have nukes and the means to deliver them, in the near future, and there is simply nothing we can do about it. We are left with the hope that "destabilization" campaigns will work. It's time to adjust to reality. The unfortunate truth is that we will have to accept nations with nuclear weapons, and agendas fiercely at odds with our own. We did it in the Cold War, it wasn't fun but it worked, and we are going to have to make it work again. Kim and the Ayatollahs shouldn't be any harder (or easier) to Contain, than Stalin and Mao.
