North Korea is probably the last country in the world that would have any interest in launching a nuclear strike against anyone. Their major problem is that they are an easy target from both a military and a political standpoint -- they will lose in a military confrontation with any nation stronger than Haiti, and because they have no strong economic/political ties to the West nobody would complain very much if they were wiped off the map tomorrow.
My most cherished memory of Jimmah is sitting in a 50 car lineup at a gas station in a snow storm at the top of the Grapevine headed south. Fist fights and line crashers abounded. Jimmy's Gas Shortage, so soon we forget!!!!! You'd have thought Congress would have done something about our Middle East dependency on oil back then. Rational action = Out! Anti-American action = In. Congresscritters=Self seekers.
My husbands favorite memory is sitting on Diego Carcia waiting for the heads up to go in and rescue hostages while Jimmy withheld military pay for three months, 'cause he couldn't get a balanced budget.
