You really need to have a perspective on this, Kim Jong-Il is a mad man surrounded by mad men who crave nothing but power, considering as well that they can barely feed their own people, but continue to threaten every country in the region. Did you know that the borders of the demilitarized zone (this is the area between N. Korea and S. Korea) is the most heavily defended area in the world? The reason for this is that no one knows what N Korea will do at any point in time. Nuclear weapons are no joke and they must be controlled. The honest reason anyone still has them is to defend their country and the rest of the world from the other people that have them. This is a time far from the Cold War and no longer are nuclear weapons seen as offensive weapons. They are defensive weapons to any superpower. If you really want to go into details why dont you look up neutron bombs, those are nasty little bitches and hope to god no dumbass power hungry asshole gets his hands on that. Point being, if you really want to have power, you have to have the responsibiltes to have that power first.
