Yes, North Korea is like the pin in a grenade, ready to be pulled, whether we like it or not. If the pin gets pulled, you will see millions dead.

China seems to have played its hand poorly. Then again perhaps China had no alternative. Iraq was under disarmament in 1993-94 and I doubt that the North Koreans were interested in suffering the same fate. The North Koreans knew that they were buying trouble when they began to develop nuclear weapons. One can argue that Clinton should have bombed them then but with a North Korean standing army of a million I don't think that was an alternative.
