I am siding with headup on this one. Sure nukes are a method blackmail etc, but I dont think countries would spend trillions of dollars developing, and testing nuclear weapons if they never planned to use them. Thtas like buying a house that you never plan to live in. Countries develop nukes for several reasons.
1) They think it will make them look more powerfu/be feared/respected.
2) They can use it as a way to blackmail allies and enemies alike.
3) If need be, they can launch one against a hostile target, for whatever reason...nukes were used before, it is inevietable that they will be used again, sooner or later.
I believe allowing N. Korea to posess nukes is like letting civilians buy tanks. Nothing good will come from it. Plus there is the fact that as headup mentioned already, they are brainwashed, like for example kids in some extremist arabic countries. They are taught that jews are the scum of the earth and that America is the greatest enemy, from the minute they are able to comprehend speach.
