The DRK will never use their nuclear weapons as that would be the end game for them.They prefer to keep playing the game.

Do you think, the same holds for the Mad Mullahs? Remember, being killed in the "holy war" means 72 virgins for everyone.
7. ARTICLE IS SPOT ON: OBAMA INACTION ON KOREA IS GREEN LIGHT

TO IRAN...
8. North Korea nuclear test
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (02.13.13)
This test is indeed a matter of concern. However, the imperialist/Zionist camp certainly has provoked North Korea to take this admittedly drastic step to defend itself, which is its basic right, even though its regime admittedly is oppressive. And their action does have the effect of a riposte to the arrogance of the imperialist/Zionist camp.
9. No sniveling about Obama on this one, gang
Cameron ,   USA   (02.13.13)
We have few levers to exert on that strange lil Stalinist state. Any squalling to be done is toward China. N. Korea is utterly dependent upon China in every way. China is the only real key to putting the clamp on that regime. Always has been.
10. North Korea and Iran
Syd Chaden ,   Palermo Calif USA   (02.13.13)
North Korea has been assisting Iran with both its nuclear and missile programs. North Koreans have been present at Iranian tests, and Iranis have been present at North Korean tests. The test that just occurred in North Korea may well have been the test of the Iranian nuclear warhead. Hopefully, the evidence of that will not be mushroom clouds rising over Tel Aviv or Haifa. Those who fantasize that talking to Iran will prevent that from occurring should consider how much has been accomplished by talking to North Korea.

Why is it Obama's fault? Why does America have to do the heavy lifting for the world. We are broke and we have had enough. We need to focus on America and America only. The US under President Clinton came close to striking North Korea in the early 90's , however that was ruled out because the US feared over 10,000 US Military casualties and the destruction of Seoul and hundreds of thousands of dead North & South Koreans at a minimum. Israel can march on Tehran if it wants too, It has my total support. So let's see if BIBI has more bark than his bite.
12. ISRAEL.
SJOERD VAN DER VELDE ,   HOORN NH, HOLLAND   (02.13.13)
VICTORY AND PEACE FOR ISRAEL. LONG LIVE THE FREE AND DEMOCRATIC WORLD.
13. #11: 'why should the US care about North Korea?'....
Rafi ,   US   (02.14.13)
When Pyongyang's missiles start dropping on Seattle and LA,, you'll have your answer... Pay now - or pay massively later. Meanwhile Japan & So. Korea are already under this terrorist regime's whims & threats. The analoogy with Iran is more than appropriate.
