If you don't want to be invaded be sure to develop nuclear weapons. I mean I understand that there are lots of subtle issues in both cases still I think it is interesting that we are openly talking of attacking Iran yet the idea of doing so to N. Korea is unthinkable as we understand that it would be a trip wire to an unacceptable conflict.

Not suggesting a solution, just pointing out the problem and the difference in policy which is striking.
