[KS] Re: literature types on NK perspectives

[David McCann]

It may not be the case that informed analysis has much impact on policy
making or policymakers, but policy implementation might generate its own
feedback loop data set; i.e., the very small circle of people who seem to
'make' policy these days might take a look at Iraq and decide that military
intervention north of the 38th parallel makes no sense at all.  Or somewhat
tangentially, if policymakers reach or have already reached a decision to
project military force on the peninsula, reflecting on the situation in
Iraq might lead Congress to be less compliant about Korea than it was about
Iraq.
