whether it would have much effect on north korea, i have done the exercise with my advisory board, trying to sort of grade threats, and we use three big clubs. one is existential. another is serious, and the bottom is a nuisance. well, on my terms, joe and i can have this conversation -- i think the only near-term threat in the existential category is a pandemic, that might kill 40,000 or 50,000 americans. climate change is a big deal long term. the iranian nuclear issue is in the serious category. north korea is the nuisance category, at least from our perspective. it's a mouse that roars some of the time. a completely failed state that only has a nuclear program. so i'd put that in the nuisance category. pakistan is another matter. it is, as joe says, a real worry. so far, interestingly, many of the bad things people thought might happen immediately from the india-pakistan becoming nuclear, haven't happened. you have found a certain amount of restraint, maybe even good sense maybe even common sense, happening between them but there are lots of sources of turmoil that might underhand pakistan in general as a koa haren state
