If i recall correctly it wasn't that long ago that N.Korea test fired a missile over the Island of Japan. So i figure if they were to strike anyone that's who it would be. While it may be theoretically possible for them to possibly hit Alaska, the odds of that actually happening are extremely slim, and even if thy did the odds that they would actually kill anyone are still kinda slim with the way Alaska is populated.
Anyway, N. Korea is pretty crappy economically. I think they just want to be allowed back into the world, atleast trading wise. They're so hostile because they feel backed into a corner. To them the Korean war probably still seems like it was 10 minutes ago, too. I think if the US were to break off all relations with them all together and let them handle their own shnit they would be less pissed off and more likely to become a productive state. As it is we keep poking and poking at them, eventually they'll bite back, we all know they would like to.
Then again this mentality seems to be rampant throughout the world at this time. America is always pushing people's buttons and expecting that they'll just take it because we're "uber". Its the same deal with the middle east, they just want us to stay the hell out of their business and let them run their own lives/countries. Yet, we can't seem to help poking our noses in and punching some countries in the face just for the sake of doing it.
