We manufacture Uranium all the time. Yet we have a problem with other countries doing the same as us? Thats hypocritical, and selfish. And remember, the US is the only country that has used nuclear weapons for war. So shouldn't everybody else be pissed off at the US? Thats my rant for the day, take it for what its worth.

James,

We are not the only country worried. Japan, Iran, India, South Korea, China, etc. have all expressed their concerns for North Korea developing nuclear weapons. Do not think it is just the US.

The problems that all countries have with other ones having nukes is that they are used only for war. This concerns everyone because no one knows what it will be used for. It's a sticky situation, not only for the US, but for the entire world. It means another country has now developed nuclear weapons which can be used at any time, without any warning, and do mass damage.

Any country launching just one nuclear missle will plunge the entire world into another world...like it or not. Countries will ally with eachother, and the next thing you know it'll be WWIII.

We aren't trying to stop them...we have asked them to "politically" but obviously they aren't going to listen. If there was anything else we could've done, believe me James, the entire world would've already stopped them. We haven't because it is...like you said, their land.

It's nothing more then the entire world voicing their opinion to have a country, especially as hostile and dangerous as North Korea to have developed nuclear weapons. It isn't safe for the entire world.

That is why we care. That is why the entire world cares. Not because we are trying to bully NK, but because we are all concerned for our safety. It is very understandable, and makes much sense.
