I think the statement that we're only neutral with nuclear countries just because they have nukes isn't very strong, in my opinion. I mean, we're nuetral (pretty much allied) with Germany...yeah we fought them in two world wars, but things change. Sides change...basing that just off of nuclear weapons is a tad too shallow for me.
We don't have bad relations with China. We've been working with them alot for years about NK, plus our goals of nuclear proliferation and anti-terrorism are on the same level.

You're right about that - but if you notice, other than the UNSC resolutions, we really haven't been blowing the horn on NK. We've dealt with their shit for 50 years, and we're doing the exact same stuff we've been doing, since before they had a nuclear capability. Trust me. It's not about the nukes.
And we've been bullied on the international stage by them too. Research the USS Pueblo, the axe murder incident, or the interception of the RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft. Those are some of the bigger ones.
