WASHINGTON (AP) -- Iran and North Korea may be two points on President Bush's old ''axis of evil,'' but the authoritarian governments are polar opposites when it comes to defusing their nuclear programs.
''I think that President Bush correctly, as we've seen on North Korea, as we're seeing on Iran, recognizes that there are issues you simply can't let drift,'' said Jon Wolfsthal, a nuclear proliferation expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies who has visited nuclear facilities in both countries.
