So let me understand: If the North Koreans could wipe out all our major west coast cities, plus Hawaii, we might not engage in a game of "lets play thermo nuclear warfare". But so long as its only Tokyo a city with 30 million people within a 30 mile radius of Tokyo tower, or Beijing with 15 milllion people, or Soeul or anyone of the cities with a total population of hundreds of millions of people that are easily within range of North Korean missiles, then it would be just fine to take this opportunity to show we are now "weak" -- have I got that right?

No you do not have that right. The point is that if anyone has the motivation to put a stop to North Korea's insanity, it should be China, Japan and South Korea. I say make a pre emptive strike and hit them hard now before they either build more nuclear weapons or put nuclear waste into the hands of terrorists to make dirty bombs. There can be no peace or security unti the axis of evil is destroyed. As far as Iran is concerned, it is now possible to take out the construction of their nuclear reactor before it becomes operational. There can be no quarter given to evil doers.
