gmat, do me a favour and read upon that first link i posted.
i understand your stance, really, and agree on some points.
some points though; do we let NKorea provoke its neighbours continuously? do we let them test warheads over Japan?

it is easy for us europeans not to feel to threatened. they won't reach that far.
NKorea can't be compared to Iraq, that is clear. that still doesn't change the fact that we shouldn't try preventing them to sell their weapons of mass distruction to the highest bidder.
