In from the cold

North Korea's regime survived the cold war and has nuclear know-how.
But it is in the west's interests to help it move towards a market
economy

The Korean peninsula is probably the most dangerous place on earth,
made worse by those who extrapolate dodgy intelligence to fanciful
"worst-case" scenarios that become the sand on which policy is
founded.
In reality, Europe being threatened by North Korea's nuclear missiles
is about as likely as the Pope converting to Islam. The most
"pessimistic" estimated range of Pyongyang's projected Taepodong 2
missile would fall well short. Even concerns over last week's
"mushroom cloud" in the north-east were quickly dismissed by the US
and South Korea.
