Look, I’ll be honest. I wasn’t nuts about Obama’s handling of the Castros, and I’m similarly not crazy about seeing the U.S. flag brush up against North Korea’s. Kim Jong-un is one of the planet’s greatest mass murderers, and it skeeves me out to see him shake a U.S. President’s hand. That said, Cuba didn’t require immediate action. North Korea probably did. Their acquisition of nuclear weapons – thanks in large part to Bill Clinton – altered the playing field dramatically.
