NK has yet to test a device, much less a bomb. Saddam was a bluff, NK's bomb may well be out of the same bag of tricks. In order to get the USA to the negotiating table and keep them away from the battlefield there has to be a notion that a war with NK will be far more expensive than one with Iraq. Therefore the large NK army and the missile tests(both real threats). The nuclear "threat" may be without any long term substance. Certainly, without a successful test of a device there is no reason to negotiate. Unless the perceived threat is accepted as real. Remembering that NK is destitute in a way far greater than the USSR was can lead one to think that this is a way to negotiate a re-unification plan. IMO negotiation is the only viable long term solution to the Korean problem.
