North Korea and Their Nukes

                              North Korea has built some nuclear warhead factories and they are building nuclear weapons as we speak in the day and the night. Why do you think they would be aiming for the United Sates and not Iraq? Well, they are friends with each other and would not hurt anyone of their "allies." North korea is not wanting to close or demolish their nuclear weapons program. They don't want to give up trying to make the most weapons to wipe out the whole United States. Do you think they can do think they can do it?

Hi Derrick,
Here is an excerpt from the "Washington Times" on North Korea and Iraq. I hope this answers some of your questions.
With the disclosure that North Korea already has two nuclear weapons and is now positioned to acquire up to six more in the next year, one might conclude, that North Korea poses a more imminent and dangerous threat than Iraq. Iraq is still public enemy number one. In order to understand why, one must ask a few questions.First, "why is North Korea takingaggressive action?" For one, North Korea desires to become an established nuclear power. After being marginalized over the past few years by not only the United States, but by China and Russia, Kim Jong Il, the current leader,clearly desires a return to the world scene. Additionally, North Korea wants to negotiate a nonaggression pact with the United States - but only after increasing its nuclear weapons stock. Better to negotiate from a position of strength. Lastly, North Korea wants to gain economic concessions such as fuel oil shipments and humanitarian food aid in return for promises not to sell plutonium, missiles, and weapons of mass destruction to state and non-state actors (like terrorist organizations). All of this is geared to reintroducing North Korea to the world stage and enabling its economic and political integration into the international community. A second question is "why now?" Two reasons. First, the United States is currently focused on both the Global War on Terror and Iraq. Second, South Korea just elected a new President, whose stated goal is to continue to expand the ties between the two Koreas.A third question is "what will happen next?" More theatrics. In the coming months one should expect to see an end to North Korea's self-imposed moratorium on missile testing, a heightened alert posture of DPRK military forces, and naval incursions into South Korean waters.A final question is "what is North Korea's end state?" Simply this: survival of Kim Jong Il's regime. Not expansion. Not regional dominance. Not the destruction of western civilization. Just survival.Which is why Iraq is a more imminent and dangerous threat.Unlike North Korea, Saddam Hussein loves to expand and hisstated goal is political and military domination of the Middle East. Unlike North Korea, Hussein has no desire to negotiate, setting up a situation where there is little room for diplomatic maneuvering.
This is just a small piece from the article, but I think this journalist thinks that Iraq is the bigger threat, don't you? But it all sounds pretty bad to me!
Keep writing.
