		<description><![CDATA[In discussing the ongoing confrontation with Iran, I&#039;ve frequently suggested that Iran is playing Chess, while the US is playing Poker. Iran has clear long-term objectives - driving the US out of the Persian Gulf, establishing Iran as the regional super-power, ending the &quot;Zionist regime&quot; (aka Israel), and of course advancing the Shiite revolution. Much of what they do is clearly intended to advance that agenda - funding troops to fight US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, building cells in Africa and Latin America, building up Hizbullah as a proxy force, the missile and nuclear projects, etc. 
 
North Koreas&#039;s objectives don&#039; seem so grandiose, with regime survival being the most obvious objective. WMDs are key to that, and they&#039;ll work with the most nefarious regimes - Iran, Pakistan, and Syria - to advance such projects. 
 
But what are the US&#039; objectives? Well, umm, something about stability, advancing US interests (which aren&#039;t self-evident), and (for the current team) being on the &quot;right side of history&quot;. Given such a muddle, we tend to be reactive and don&#039;t have much of a plan. Crisis? Do something! Threat? Threaten back, but not too loudly, as you might make them mad. If your bluff is called, fold. There&#039;s always another hand to play, right? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[.... I imagine Peking&#039;s perilously-pernicious self-appointed and self-perpetuating predator pack (that so grandiosely calls itself &quot;china&quot;) wouldn&#039;t be too happy if Nork&#039;s dorks were to attack the Earth&#039;s greatest benefactor nation ....  
 
As the rather relevantly named retarded Richard Dawkins uses his pseudo &quot;science&quot; to hide his zealously-anti-Christian bigotry, so do Peking&#039;s predators use their vapidly-vexatious vassal, Norkorea, to hide their own pathologically-hesperophobic barbaric bloody belligerence and to do much of their anti-American dirty work.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am fascinated with what I am hearing from the new voice (to me) of Mike Baker, former CIA, on this.  He lines it all up with our activity in Syria and the Middle East and shows the equation in the standoff, otherwise perceived as North Korean saber-rattling because the young dictator has to prove himself.  I can hardly wait to read this article (gotta work), as I see references to the mid east here, too.  It makes more sense this way. ]]></description>
