I hope you're not suggesting that it's their Stalinism that makes them a 
nuclear threat.  I mean, Stalin himself also had nukes.  But if you arrange 
events chronologically, you'll find it was U.S. generals that urged bombing 
Moscow, quick, before the Russians got the A-bomb.  I think North Korea's 
doing what any country placed on a U.S. hit list will try to do--get nukes 
fast.  But that does not mean they're 'the real nuclear threat.'
