Not really. I especially think the Korean thing is way overblown. These are my reasons:
1. The Nation cannot even feed itself. If they get belligerent with anyone we could starve them out in short order.
2. China is never going to go along with a Korean Nuclear peninsula. Not to mention Japan. If it appears this fellow is doing more then strutting around like a tom turkey they will put a stop to it.
3. Were China not to feel as I believe they do, then Japan along with S. Korea are perfectly capable of removing the threat.
This whole thing is nothing more then an attempt to MUG the USA. All parties will let US pay if we want too, rather then commit their own resources.

Iran, IMHO is a little more dangerous for the following reasons:
1. Israel is NOT going to let them go nuclear. Right now we are holding Israel at bay, but if they feel we and Europe are not up to the task, then they will strike. This will cause all hell to break out in the middle east and we would find ourselves smack dab in the middle of it.
2. If Iran WERE to somehow be successful, I believe we have every reason to feel they would aid terrorists covertly. While N. Korea would do the same if they could, we have the sea blocked and China has the land blocked. Iran has means to smuggle out that we may not be able to stop.
3. Unlike N. Korea, Iran is a very wealthy nation, the only thing we have going for us is their youth. Iran is largely below the age of 30 and those people would like to have DEMOCRACY. This is why IMHO it is SO IMPORTANT that we get iraq up and running as a Democracy as a shining example of what could be for the others.
