Why North Korea's nukes matter?

By itself, North Korea is not a threat to the US. It does not have the military means or the staying power to fight against the US.

It is a threat to its neighbors. This is why I'm happy that President Bush warned them yesterday against attacking South Korea or Japan.

The big threat is that North Korea will sell weapons to terrorists. We have in North Korea a willing supplier. We have in Iran a willing buyer with money.

This is why a blockade, or quarantine as Pres. Kennedy called it during the '62 Cuban Missile Crisis called it, is a matter a time.

"Korean bombs, missiles, and expertise will sail, fly, run, and walk to the Middle East."
