North Korea and nukes – a counterintuitive argument

North Korea is probably the safest country on earth to have nuclear weapons.

Why?

What does the North Korean regime want more than anything else?

To survive.

What would happen if the North Koreans launched a nuclear attack or were found to have provided a nuke to terrorists?

It would be obliterated.

A country like Iran, viagra canada viagra controlled by an apocalyptic leader might be willing to perish in nuclear fire to start the final conflagration between religions…

…North Korean leader Kim Jong-il just wants to prop up his dynastic dictatorship in perpituity.

That said, there I’d hate to be one of North Korea’s neighbors right now. North Korea has shown it’s not above a little nuclear blackmail. And if I were Japan or South Korea, I’d be rethinking my opposition to nuclear weapons in my own country right about now.
