North Korea and Iran

Two headlines from Reuters today:

North Korea backs away from nuclear deal
Iran's top leader firms up backing for Ahmadinejad

There's an Iranian election in 2009. Wouldn't it be nice if the same way Ahmadinejad followed Bush into office, he will also follow Bush out of office

I kind of think North Korea likes to be a big part of the US political discussion and they aren't right now so they're trying to get noticed. I'm sure there's more to it, but that's what it feels like.
