In thinking about the question of are you better off now than you were 4 years ago, are you safer now than you were 4 years ago, I have had the privilege of sitting at the knee of the former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He has taught me something about two countries where we better keep a laser eye focused, namely Iran and North Korea.
