Yes. I would offer up the DPRK as an existence proof of a place that the 
IAOC should unequivocally exclude from consideration. With that extreme 
example as an anchor, the question is where the line between 
"acceptable" and "unacceptable" is drawn.

It would be ridiculous to hold this conversation with an assumed 
principle that every country on the face of the planet is an acceptable 
destination.
