Assessing North Korea and Saving Face in Iraq

Hosted by
Despite doubts that North Korea really tested a nuclear weapon, even China says it ought to be "punished" just for trying. We hear from the UN, see how North Korea's test compares to those of other nations and ask about failures of diplomacy.  Also, are "stay the course" and "cut and run" the only alternatives in Iraq, and the death of a journalist shines a spotlight on Moscow's war in Chechnya.
