Syria & North Korea: A Real Axis of Evil

Whatever the final outcome of the current crisis over the reported use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime, one thing is clear: Pyongyang has been an enabler of the Syrian state sponsor of terrorism in its proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). It has supported its ally in Damascus in the construction of an aborted nuclear facility, reportedly on the battlefield in Aleppo, and in the procurement of missiles and chemical weapons. Is not the sponsor of a state sponsor of terrorism also a supporter of terrorism? Given Pyongyang's many documented activities in support of the regime in Damascus, it is high time for the Obama administration to relist North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism. If not, the list will lose all meaning and relevance.
