Who Poses The Most Danger To World Peace, Iran, North Korea, or Russia/China?

I'm sure this is a question that is being debated by Washington War
Planners. AIPAC and numerous Arab powers have a vested interest in
addressing the Iran issue especially in consideration that 50% of
Israel responded in a recent poll they would support bombing Iran. 50%
That's a mighty high figure when you consider the main targets are
nuclear facilities, and then missile sites the Iranian's believe to be
hidden. In fact, the odds are that Israel would attempt to destroy or
disable any ability the Iranians have to strike back; if they choose to
engage in this unnecessary action when they don't even have the bomb
yet (?) we have to ask ourselves if we should get involved. I support
the people of Israel but not Zionists or AIPAC, and to me, it's absurd
that Israel has their own state yet deny the Palestinians one...

Poll: Half of Israelis back bombing if needed to stop Iran nukes

JERUSALEM (CNN) - Roughly half of Israelis support
bombing Iran's nuclear facilities if international efforts fail to stop
the Islamic republic from developing nuclear weapons, according to a
Hebrew University poll released Sunday.

Some 52 percent of Israelis say the country should bomb Iran's
nuclear reactor, while 35 percent are against, the poll found. The
margin of error in the poll of Israelis is 4.5 percentage points.

Palestinians are somewhat more evenly divided, with 43 percent
saying a nuclear Iran would be good for the Arab world and 33 percent
saying it would be bad, according to the Palestinian Center for Policy
and Survey Research in Ramallah, which conducted the poll along with
Hebrew University. The margin of error for the Palestinian sample is 3
percentage points.

Hebrew University released the poll shortly before Israel's Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was due to make what he called a major
speech to lay out his plan for the country's peace and security. MORE

The above isn't new news, however it may impact US policy as we're
being pushed and pulled from several opposing directions. Several Arab
nations who have strong diplomatic ties with Washington fear an Iran
that each and every day - seems to be attempting to flex its muscle as
as the regional source of the true power in the Middle-East. Egypt has
complained that Iran has attempted to convert some of its population
into their version of Islam, which Iran categorically denies. Those who
believe that Israel and several European countries are the only ones
supporting taking Iran down a notch or two are mistaken; the Arab
interest in accomplishing this task is being supported in the shadows.
- and some of those Arab allies are extremely important to the energy
concerns of this nation.

Now, with impeccable timing, North Korea is engaging in some of the
most provocative moves they can short of an actual declaration of war
against a specific country. Did Kim Jong il's recent stroke make him
even more unstable - or is this simply more "nuclear brinkmanship?"
Good intelligence coming out of the North is almost non-existent, and
contrary to recent speculation, I do not believe Kim Jong il is crazy
enough to fire a missile towards Hawaii.

N. Korea warns ships of impending drill

North Korea's hydrographic department e-mailed Japan's coast guard
Monday, according to coast guard spokesman Shinya Suzuki. Japan
monitors that part of the region's waters.

North Korea plans to hold military shooting practice in the waters
northeast of Wonsan, on the country's eastern coast, from June 25 to
July 10, according to the e-mail, Suzuki said.

The reclusive communist nation did not specify consequences of ships
entering those waters during the drill, but the dates fall within the
timeframe cited by Japanese media last week for a possible North Korea
missile launch toward Hawaii. MUCH MORE

Actually, he may be crazier than I had first believed. If it's the
plan of North Korea to demonstrate they can hit US targets, that fact
in itself is enough to make a highly unstable North Korea a REAL
threat to the United States, and I don't believe the President or
Congress will allow that to happen. I believe North Korea is close to
crossing an invisible line that turns them from a loudmouth dictator
who's usually little more than a pain in the butt to an actual threat
to the health and safety of the American public. If this should happen,
whether the "threat" is real or not, Jim Jong il may be sealing his own
fate and ours as well.

Where is the Mainstream News Media's commentary and editorials in
regard China and their refusal to put a halt to North Korea threatening
its neighbors and continuing its Nuclear Program? North Korea is
China's puppet, and to end this crisis, China has to merely cut-off
their energy supply until the North cries Uncle - and it wouldn't take
long. China is the leading supplier of energy and food to North Korea,
and without China's support, the North would wither and die. I'd hate
to see food supplies cut-off, as it would cause the starvation of
millions, a crime that Kim Jong il is guilty of - starving his own
population and spending valuable money on weapons technology when the
people themselves are dying-off with little international condemnation.
Whenever, or should I say "if ever" the North opens-up and joins the
international community and the brutality of Jim Jong il is fully
exposed, I'd guess that he is responsible for hundreds of thousands of
deaths more than Saddam Hussein.

I was just searching for a link when I stumbled across a great story in OregonLive.com.
It was well written on May 26th, however this glimpse of reality never
made it into the MSM. We dare not criticize China too much, as they
might respond by destroying our economy - which I believe they are in
position to at least mortally wound us if not crash the entire economy.
I have often alleged that China was the real problem - and this is the
first time I have seen that opinion substantiated:
