Too Much Of A Good Thing

Although "Iran never enriched uranium at a level that could only represent an interest in nuclear weapons - but South Korea did", nevertheless not only has South Korea (under markedly less actual threat from North Korea than Iran is from Israel) been let off the hook, but she very largely remains The Hermit Kingdom.

Rather too much so, in fact.

Admirably still centred on their families and their close friends, South Koreans are insufficiently engaged to prevent the destruction of that world by those who would instead turn their country into, among other things, a nuclear power, with all that that entails.
