Choosing who to vote for... (LONG)

[alanint]

Why do all foreigners bring up the US's "National Interest" as if it were a dirty word?
I have news for you, Albert, ALL countries act out of national Interest, including wherever you originate from.
As far as North Korea is concerned, (aside from our legitimate NATIONAL INTEREST in being more concerned over our oil supplies), we are less concerned about North Korea because its track record has always been one of chest pounding and saber rattling within its own borders. Today it poses no real threat to its neighbors simply because it knows China (forget the US or UN), would crush it should it upset the global apple cart, (and North Korea knows China, unlike the rest of the world, could not care less about world opinion should it invade).
Iran, on the other hand, is ruled by religious zealots who have actively called for our and Israel's destruction and who have repeatedly crossed its borders or funded surrogates to do harm abroad. They are unstable and are ruled by religious passion rather than common sense, and have proved this repeatedly. They are willing to risk self-destruction to strike out at the infidels. This tenet alone makes them infinitely more dangerous than North Korea, who IS interested in self-preservation and worthy of a preemptive nuclear strike from the US at some time in the future.
You really need to study world politics more thoroughly
