They have more to lose but if their country is falling apart and all they care about is their own power they might not feel that they have as much to lose as you think they will. They probably would not actually nuke Hawaii (or the West coast if they can reach it) but they could try using that ability in a blackmail attempt. It would be desperate and dangerous, but I think NK is capable of desperate and dangerous acts. Al Qaida is more likely to kill Americans but the number they would kill would be small compared to the number NK could kill if things went bad, and tiny compared to the number of people (rather then just Americans) that could be killed by a second Korean War. Your right that NK shouldn't keep us from hunting down Al Qaida but I don't see it as doing that, at least not if an actual war doesn't start and if a Korean war does start it will be bigger then a 9/11 every month in terms of people dieing.
