I'm not up on my "North Korean Politics," but what would happen if we left NK alone? I mean, seriously, why or why not would that be a good/bad idea?

A rogue state with a crazy egomaniacal leader with nukes.... It's only a matter of time before plutonium from NK finds its way to al-quaeda.

North Korea may proliferate ballistic missiles, but they will likely hoard every ounce of fissile material until they have at least a hundred or more weapons of their own. Kim's ultimate goal is likely to possess several hundred nuclear weapons, to make his enemies cower at the thought of refusing his 'requests' for aid.

Buried deep in hollowed out mountains and bunkers, his silos will be cleverly and deceptively constructed. We could possibly need to use the lions share of our nuclear arsenel to defeat North Korea, if their nuclear weapons production continues unchecked.
