I would suggest that if you want a high chance of getting to live in a post apocalyptic country where there is no functioning government, infrastructure or adequate supply of food, smuggle yourself into North Korea. I can't remember where I read it, but someone described North Korea as being 'the retarded kid playing with matches in the paint shed'. While not very politically correct, it is not a bad assessment. If they end up detonating any nuclear device in the next five years, which I doubt they will, it will probably be while it is still in their country. That said, I think the USA is purposely inciting the situation so it has a 'legitimate reason' to strengthen it's military presence in that part of the world.
You have a point. I don't know how much longer we can milk this "war on terror" in the Middle East and as sad as it is, war is good business.
