No, everyone doesn't know they had a weapons program. They did in the past but it was no longer active. There is no evidence besides our paranoid fear to tell us that they did.
And I'm sorry but the fact is we couldn't find anything and neither could they. At the very least they are just as good at what they do as we are.
And what is this about Iraq prematurely striking? We prematurely struck them out of fear of their alleged weapons program. North Korea does not have a capable long range nuclear weapons program nor does Iran. However, nuclear proliferation is inevitable so long as we have nuclear weapons and threaten to take out any country that attempts to gain a comparable military advantage. Until we get rid of ours all other nations will be raising to get them. Simply owning nukes doesn't make a nation an enemy nor do having a mostly arab populace. Our policies make enemies not weapons.
