North Korea should we be concerned?

[Beanstalk]

The below story brings to light what are our priorities? The North Korean Government has been rattling the sword threaten South Korea and the US with what they are going to do. I am of the opinion that we act swiftly as we do not have the past Tiger (China) on the best of terms with them now. Another war? Or conflict? This should have been put down years ago when Bush was warned of the Nuclear possibilities.


SEOUL, South Korea ? North Korea said Tuesday it has reprocessed 8,000 spent nuclear fuel rods and extracted enough plutonium to bolster its atomic stockpile, raising the stakes in an apparent effort to push the U.S. into direct negotiations.
Reprocessing the spent fuel rods would give the regime enough weapons-grade plutonium for at least one more atomic bomb, experts say. Pyongyang is believed to have enough weaponized plutonium for half a dozen nuclear weapons.

I think we should ignore them and let China deal with it.

no doubt a threat-undebatable. they may not start the war, but they will sell to other regimes who will. they will use these weapons for leverage as they always have and some people will fall for it and give them more american tax payer money to fuel these threats against us and the world. they also cause a major threat via cyber war which was just recognized. and the black market and fraud which has fueled that nation for decades is also a direct threat to the world. at the sametime, unlike iran they want attention mostly and wont act on some sort of religous fanaticism. lets hope obama doesnt hand feed the looney leader like clinton did.

I agree with that statement. They will give it to the ones who will use them in Iraq or Afghanistan and even Israel. Lets not leave out the USA as well. Terrorist will be well sponsored by these guys.
