A COMMON AIM

THERE ARE a few uncanny similarities between the leader of Iran and North Korea. Whereas the former is a religious fanatic, the latter is an ideological tyrant. Both Tehran and Pyongyang are in possession of a large stockpile of nuclear arsenal that was built up with mutual exchange of technology. Both believe in the path of violence to achieve their ultimate goals. The theocratic leadership of Iran and the Communist dictator have one common aim — total destruction of Israel and the US.
