    north korea. and they have nukes thanks to failure on the clinton admin. and don't anyone claim that they got them under bush, because clinton sent carter there in 1994 and secured an "agreement". carter's plane wasn't even off the tarmac when noko turned off the inspection cameras and began reprcessing the spent rods. and it was kinda hard to focus on noko after 9/11.

    now of course, when you talk about "communists", you're really referring to stalinists. and there're a few left around. chavez in venezuela is close. and they got lots of oil.
