As much as we don't want to get into a pissing match with China, and as much as I suspect our constitution dissallows it, and as much as Hiroshima and Nagasaki have made this country as anti-nuke as a 60's hippie out of his gourd on a cocktail of drugs.
The dude with the bad hair day scares us more.
As much as we get into pissing matches with China, realistically its just that, we're interdependant these days.
Guy with bad hair is at the point where he has nothing to loose that he isn't already loosing.

English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark alleys, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.
We're dealing with a rogue nation where they want to instill doubt in order to blackmail their way into getting what they want, much like a game of poker.
You don't show your cards in poker.
No, but you do have to show that you have the bank to get in on the table, and that's what they're doing.

Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.
I'm sure he's advertising. All the more reason to hammer him into the ground. More so as an example to Iran.
A, He is holding South Korea as a hostage. The amount of death and damage he could inflict there is unimaginable, even without nukes. And he is crazy, remember.
B, Won't hammering him, without actually attacking him, convince Iran to speed up?
They know severe economic sanctions won't be put on them because we are addicted to their oil. And they know that if they get the bomb, we will never invade.
Bush has really painted himself into a corner with his hard line rhetoric. e.g. "North Korea can have these a future or it can have these weapons. It can't have both,". They have the bomb now, and apparently a future too. Not a good message to send Iran.
