Iran's Good Intentions

It would be a close run thing as to whether Iran or North Korea is the most evil regime on earth, but there can be no doubt, because of the "end time" ethos of the religious fanatics that run Iran that Tehran is the more dangerous. While both Pyongyang and Tehran have sponsored international terror, Iran is far more vigorous in expanding its reach and is currently exporting trouble to Iraq and Lebanon, and propping up the Assad dictatorship in Syria. A recent report by the United Nations chronicles how North Korea makes mothers drown or suffocate their own babies (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/feb/17/un-warns-north-koreas-kim-jong-un-strongly-worded-/), but Kim Jong-un is more or less rational and committed to his own survival. Iran's ruling mullahs regard death in service to jihad as the highest virtue and want to initiate world chaos to bring the 12th Imam from his hiding place in the well, meaning that they literally believe they have nothing to lose and all to gain by initiating World War III. The mullahs running Iran routinely have mass public hangings where a carnival atmosphere prevails for such crimes as "making war on God" (apostasy) and string young homosexual men up from gibbet cranes as a lesson in morality. Both Pyongyang and Tehran find themselves in the embrace of wretched fanaticism enforced by extreme brutality, but at least North Korea's young dictator wants to around enjoying the high life for some time to come.
