Things seem to be turning from bad to worse. First we had this administration destroy American credibility in the world over Iraq. That is now haunting use with North Korea and Iran both of whom are moving forward with their respective programs. With North Korea going so far as to set up reviewing stands near, what looks to be a nuclear test site (See: Experts Outline Process of Possible North Korea Nuclear Test).

On a similar note Iran has stated today that it will restart its uranium enrichment-related work within days. So now when are government needs its credibility the most we don't have it. We face North Korea showing the world that it has moved from just being suspected of having Nuclear weapons to giving a demonstration. And Iran moving forwards towards some for itself. Ignoring the international community. Some believe that Iran's moves are with the possible intent of using them as a counter to American power, by using there possible weapons as a way to blind US technology in a conflict that they see coming.

So this administrations aggressive stances have push us all into a very dangerous place in two critical parts of the world.
