Last night's documentary on NK's military might was very threatening... They behave as robots... The women and men marching the goosestep which if you ever tried it is very hard. Their message is that they know America is going to invade them and that they are prepared... They said if any invasion comes, not only will it be met with extraordinary force..(and watching their army march and seeing the size etc.) but with retaliation that was inferenced was nuclear. Scary. Just read too that Israel may hit Iran's nuclear sites.. This stuff is getting serious. I don't think at this juncture it pays to go back and recount which president did this or didn't do that . We are where we are now and the conflagration that could emanate is scary.

I'm repeating myself, but the reason for my original post was the title to the piece you posted: Two key IAEA flaws that led to North Korean nukes My point was that the flaws were in the Agreed Framework which was negotiated by the US, not the IAEA. The headline seemed strange to me. Going forward, some form of engagement is the only rational policy. A military option seems to be out of the question. With hundreds of long range artillery pieces aimed at Seoul plus hundreds of short range missiles, South Korea could be destroyed within hours. I don't understand the point of your question "Which country/countries would you not want to have both nuclear bombs and be able to get missiles from NK????" Why would I want any country to have nuclear bombs?
