Political unstability doesn't mean that a country will launch nuclear weopons.
Also I would like someone to point out these political unstabilities, there are some food problems, electrical power problems and technological problems, but there isn't political unstability. Most people of the DPRK are educated in Juche and support it.
The only talks that will stop this crazyness between USA and the DPRK are talks of re-unification between the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Republic of Korea whithout intervention from other capitalist nations like US and Japan. That is what the Korean people want.

By Korean Central News Agency, verified through the DPRK mission in the United
Nations -Geneva, Switzerland-
Pyongyang, February 10 (KCNA) - The DPRK Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a
statement Thursday to clarify its stand to cope with the grave situation created
by the US hostile policy toward the DPRK.
The statement says:
The second-term Bush administration's intention to antagonize the DPRK and
isolate and stifle it at any cost has become quite clear.
As we have clarified more than once, we justly urged the US to renounce its
hostile policy toward the DPRK whose aim was to seek the latter's "regime
change" and switch its policy to that of peaceful co-existence between the two
countries. We have closely followed with patience what policy the second-term
Bush regime would shape after clarifying the stand that in that case it would be
possible to solve the nuclear issue, too.
However, the administration turned down our just request and adopted it as its
policy not to co-exist with the DPRK through the president's inaugural address
and the state of the union address and the speech made by the secretary of State
at the Congress hearing to get its approval, etc.
The remarks made by senior officials of the administration clarifying the
official political stance of the US contained no word showing any willingness to
co-exist with the DPRK or make a switchover in its policy toward it.
On the contrary, they have declared it as their final goal to terminate the
tyranny, defined the DPRK, too, as an "outpost of tyranny" and blustered that
they would not rule out the use of force when necessary.
And they pledged to build a world based on the US view on value through the
"spread of American style liberty and democracy."
The true intention of the second-term Bush administration is not only to further
its policy to isolate and stifle the DPRK pursued by the first-term office but
to escalate it. As seen above, the US has declared a new ideological stand-off
aimed at a "regime change" in the DPRK while talking much about "peaceful and
diplomatic solution" to the nuclear issue and the "resumption of the six-party
talks" in a bid to mislead the world public opinion.
This is nothing but a far-fetched logic of gangsters as it is a good example
fully revealing the wicked nature and brazen-faced double-dealing tactics of the
U.S. as a master hand at plot-breeding and deception.
The DPRK has clarified its stand that it would not pursue anti-Americanism and
treat the US as a friendly nation if it neither slanders the political system in
the DPRK nor interferes in its internal affairs. It has since made every
possible effort to settle the nuclear issue and improve the bilateral relations.
However, the US interpreted this as a sign of weakness, defiled the dignified
political system in the DPRK chosen by its people and wantonly interfered in its
internal affairs. The US, turning down the DPRK's request to roll back its
anti-DPRK hostile policy, a major stumbling block in the way of settling the
nuclear issue, treated it as an enemy and, not content with this, totally
rejected it, terming it "tyranny." This deprived the DPRK of any justification
to negotiate with the U.S. and participate in the six-party talks.
Is it not self-contradictory and unreasonable for the US to urge the DPRK to
come out to the talks while negating its dialogue partner? This is the height of
impudence.
The US now foolishly claims to stand by the people in the DPRK while negating
the government chosen by the people themselves. We advise the US to negotiate
with dealers in peasant markets it claims they are to its liking or with
representatives of "the organization of north Korean defectors" on its payroll
if it wishes to hold talks.
Japan is now persistently pursuing its hostile policy toward the DPRK, toeing
the US line.
Moreover, it fabricated the issue of false remains over the "abduction issue"
that had already been settled in a bid to nullify the DPRK-Japan Pyongyang
Declaration and stop any process to normalize diplomatic relations with the
DPRK. How can we sit at the negotiating table with such a party?
It is the trend of the new century and wish of humankind to go in for peace,
co-existence and prosperity irrespective of differing ideology, system and
religious belief.
It is by no means fortuitous that the world people raise their voices cursing
and censuring the Bush administration as a group pursuing tyranny prompted by
its extreme misanthropy, swimming against such trend of the world.
We have shown utmost magnanimity and patience for the past four years since the
first Bush administration swore in.
We can not spend another four years as we did in the past four years and there
is no need for us to repeat what we did in those years.
The DPRK Foreign Ministry clarifies as following to cope with the grave
situation created by the US hostile policy toward the DPRK:
First. We have wanted the six-party talks but we are compelled to suspend our
participation in the talks for an indefinite period till we have recognized that
there is justification for us to attend the talks and there are ample conditions
and atmosphere to expect positive results from the talks.
The present deadlock of the six-party talks is attributable to the US hostile
policy toward the DPRK.
There is no justification for us to participate in the six-party talks again
given that the Bush administration termed the DPRK, a dialogue partner, an
"outpost of tyranny", putting into the shade the hostile policy, and totally
negated it.
Second. The US disclosed its attempt to topple the political system in the DPRK
at any cost, threatening it with a nuclear stick. This compels us to take a
measure to bolster its nuclear weapons arsenal in order to protect the ideology,
system, freedom and democracy chosen by its people.
It is the spirit of the Korean people true to the Songun politics to respond to
good faith and the use of force in kind.
We had already taken the resolute action of pulling out of the NPT and have
manufactured nukes for self-defence to cope with the Bush administration's
evermore undisguised policy to isolate and stifle the DPRK.
Its nuclear weapons will remain nuclear deterrent for self-defence under any
circumstances.
The present reality proves that only powerful strength can protect justice and
truth.
The US evermore reckless moves and attempt to attack the DPRK only reinforce its
pride of having already consolidated the single-minded unity of the army and
people and increased the capability for self-defence under the uplifted banner
of Songun. The DPRK's principled stand to solve the issue through dialogue and
negotiations and its ultimate goal to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula remain
unchanged.

We all heard of claims how N Korea had the weapons, all of our great leaders around the world would make comments to that effect.
N Korea comes out and says it has the weapons, and Johnny says they could be bluffing? I thought this is what he would have wanted....you know....because now N Korea is very likely to have these weapons....why doesn't the US invade them now?

Also, Iraq had lots of oil. North Korea is a cold freezer that has absolutely nothing for america to make money from

He does have "comment on North Korea," so to speak. The US have expressed their obvious disapproval but with 150,000 troops tied down in Iraq, and potential troubles with neighbouring Iran, they aren't exactly going to be flexing their muscles at this point in time. To do so would be strategically and politically stupid.Vangineer said:

The US backed down from talks because the US want to continue there campiagn for regime change in DPRK. These talks would of have been about peace between the nations. ie DPRK stop anti americanism and the US stop anti Songun.
The DPRK want to fix conflicts between the two nations so they can conitnue on with the Nuclear talks and Re-unification talks.
Why should the DPRK return to 6 party talks when one party are hostile and talk about invasion. I fully understand DPRK's stance and support it.

North Korea signed all these treaties declaring that it wont create nuclear weapons, participated in talks and even recieved fuel rods (as mentioned above) from the US on the condition that it halt its nuclear weapons program. Even so North Korea continued constructing nuclear bombs. I feel that NK is mainly responsable for the tension, plus Bush's aggressive foreign policy doesnt help the situation.Encarta said:

Its funny when people talk about "dictators". They can not choose between the dictator that controls everything, meaning that would require 16 hour days or the dictator that lounges around all day doing nothing.
Which is it, is he a workaholic or lazy?
