N. Korea knows that if it wants to maintain its sovereignty, it needs nukes. America is a threat to N. Korean sovereignty, so it was forced to acquire nukes to protect itself.
The same is true with Iran.

Exactly. Korea knows that if they didn't have nukes we'd walk all over them. Having nukes gives them power and leverage they cannot get otherwise.
If Cuba had nuclear weapons, you'd see those sactions we've had on them for the psat 40 years removed faster than you can blink. We'd be trading everything we could with them. Castro and Bush would be close buddies.
That's just the way the world works.
