Nuke Armed Rogue Nations and the Unaccountability Factor

What happens when rogue nations acquire nuclear warheads? Peter Brooks uses South Korea and North Korea as an example of the probable unanswered aggression in a region.

In South Korea’s case their “war ship” Cheonan sank in the Yellow Sea. The unprovoked attack on the Cheonan resulted in the deaths of FORTY South Korean sailors. No nation has claimed responsibility for the attack and South Korea has not placed blame on any nation.

In South Korea’s case: Why is no official accusation of the probable nation responsible being levied?

Brooks believes the obvious which is that Nuclear Armed North Korea torpedoed the Cheonan. The reason for South Korea’s reluctance to accuse North Korea is due to the rogue nation’s possession of nuclear warheads tipped on Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM). So as it stands now, North Korea is off the hook for an obvious act of war.

Now North Korea is nutty enough; however Iran is in the area of SUPER-NUTTY. Iran’s ruling class are a bunch of psycho Twelver Shi’ite Muslims who believe a martyred death is a direct elevator to the sexual pleasures of 72 virgins in the Muslim heaven.

So how do you think Iran’s regional neighbor react to unprovoked Iranian aggression? For that matter, how will the appeaser President Barack Hussein Obama react to regional unprovoked aggression? My first thought is some sort of inane statement like, “We need to talk with Iran to understand the reason for attacking its neighbors (or worse the American Military presence in the Middle East and the AfPak area).”
