Been reading Chris Wickham's "The Inheritance of Rome 400 -1000 ad" and the amount of killing and slandering of political relatives by both the Merovingians and Carolingians were equal or greater than what North Korea can claim. The difference is that no matter how nutty a medieval king might be, he did not have a nuke....
this difference seems to mean little to Obama and his crew, same with his view on Iran. there have always been deceitful monarchs, just read Shakespeare, but to have a foreign affairs team that relies on Dennis Rodman is quite scarey
