Sounds more like you're underestimating the consequences of triggering a nuclear war, while hyperestimating the consequences of leaving them to shrivel up in their tipot kingdom.
If just having ballistic nukes meant he'd fire them on the US, then he already would have detonated on SK.
How doesn't this compute??
The fear is strong with US. Monsters lurking in every corner, under every bed; any state that doesn't acquiesce to our over arching international demands then they're all monsters MONSTERS I tell ya!
Everybody, its time to put your big boy pants on and quit shaking and shivering over doosh boy.

Even Hitler might not have been as insane as all of this.

Trusting Neocon's?
Right. Iraq War anyone? Anyone, anyone, want another round in Iraq?
Asking a hammer if it should hit the nail is the scenario here.
How about we ask South Korean's what they think?? Anyone have a nice poll for us to reflect on here???
REALITY CHECK: NOBODY is EVER going to nuke US unless 'we' go around triggering nuclear wars. NOBODY could ever hope to survive hitting US with nukes, and therefore it will never happen unless we deserve it and they're desperate.
To prevent the "sum of all fears" and to counter nuclear terrorism, the United States should: Expand its global intelligence network; Boost cooperation with law enforcement and intelligence communities around the world; Provide ample funding to and expand the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI), a global effort that aims to stop shipments of WMD, their delivery systems, and related materials; Expand the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction Program; Neutralize those involved in WMD terrorist operations; Design a supporting public affairs component of the U.S. anti-terrorism policy; Launch a political warfare component via the intelligence community; and Consider instituting a monetary reward program for interception of proliferation operations and nuclear terrorist activities.
That said, however, there is more than a theoretical possibility that terrorists could buy a working warhead and deliver it to the U.S. in one of the millions of shipping containers that enter the country without examination by U.S. Customs. Terrorists could also smuggle such a weapon through a porous land or maritime border, in addition to which they could smuggle components and assemble the weapon in the United States. In terms of who could execute such an attack, al-Qaeda, Hezballah, and Lashkar-e-Tayyiba each may have the necessary technical expertise and motivation to undertake it.
The United States and its allies have no alternative but to combat and destroy these evildoers while preventing them from obtaining and using weapons of mass destruction.

How do you know that this would never happen?
I think the world was surprised, especially Americans, when Japan had the "balls" to attack America...amirite?
I also think terrorists, given access to biological or nuclear devices, wouldn't hesitate to use them on us, because of their perverted religious beliefs. They would do this whether we deserved it or not...amirite?
I think a rogue country is dangerous and behaves like a "terrorist organization."
