The truth seems a bitter pill to swallow for many, sad to say.
Read it and debate among yourselves. Again, I have no further comment.

Iraq is a mess, I see no immediate solution there because there appears to be a never-ending supply of folks dedicated to the failure of any democratic state.
North Korea is under the leadership of a semi-madman, Kim is dangerous but not completely insane, the Chinese can and will control him. They have no interest in nukes in North Korea which would mean either an increased US presence in the region or development of same by South Korea and Japan. They will do it quietly and we'll never see it but they will control him...the Chinese greatest fear is destabilization in North Korea...the devil they know is better than the one they don't!
Iran...my greatest personal concern! I lived most of my life during the cold war and was comforted by knowing that the Soviet leaders were rational human beings who wanted their children and grandchildren to live as much as we do! It was a dangerous time, especially those few dreadful days in the waters of Cuba when world destruction was one misstep away...but sanity prevailed! With the leaders of Iran, I hold no such illusion...if they have the bomb, they will use it...and Israel will destroy them...and then...?????
