Seriously....what purpose can be served by threatening Nuclear War against a power that would seemingly brush the perverbial mesquito away....and proceed to burn down the swamp and coat the ashes in DDT. The statement made by North Korean Media serves no purpose in my mind short of forcing people to notice the childs tantrum.
""The army and people of the DPRK are now in full preparedness to answer a pre-emptive attack with a relentless annihilating strike and a nuclear war with a mighty nuclear deterrent," its communist party newspaper said on Monday."

One can only hope this is taken as the empty threat it is...by United States diplomats. Now to my question:
Though it is likely North Korea now has a limited Nuclear ability (unconfirmed, but implied), would it not be in the best interest of all involved to pull an "Iraq"....and remove the threat before they can become a serious threat to ourselves, and our allies?
