NK isn't a direct threat to us, they are a direct threat to our allies Japan and South Korea, which if nothing else is a direct attack on our economy. I honestly don't think NK has the money to wage a war outside their boarders, I think the only war they could fight would be a defensive war. They have no real economy and you see how much the war in Iraq is costing us, there is no way NK could flip that bill.
The issues with NK is for one they probably are crazy enough to launch a nuke on Japan or South Korea if they thought we were going to attack. Number two their human rights violations make Saddam look like a nice guy and IMO rival the mass killing done by Hitler.
