North Korea might be apt to supply thier missle technologies with people we don't want having it, which is already the case to a certain extent, and them having recieved most of thier tech via Russia and/or China (whose technology is also mostly imported, but they are getting rather adept and producing thier own materials, thier economic boom, and industrial revolution doesn't just have them turning out cheap trinkets for sale at walmart but tech of all sorts). But back to the main point, North Korea more than likely has nuclear weapons (at least a few, possibly more the US intelligence services have been "suprised" alot latley), North Korea have missle systems that can be placed in shipping containers, said missle systems can be deployed while still on a vessel underway, said containers are hard virtually undetectable. It wouldn't be that hard for someone to use a missle with a shorter range with a nuclear warhead or dirty bomb or chemical/bio and fire from a vessel closer to shore, circumventing the tech needed to make multi-stage ICBM's. North Korea isn't the only country suspected of this, Iran is likely pursuing something of these sorts.

And to previous poster, I believe regardless of WMD (and they have found some in Iraq, albeit rather old and probally no longer serviceable condition) that someone should have gone in to Iraq and taken Saddam out, it should have happened in the first gulf war, to a certain extent alot of the animosity we have now is from us "failing" Iraqi's the first time. Some of the sought to overthrow the goverment when we invaded then, but then we pulled out and they were handled mercilessly and we left them for dead.
