All i'm saying is that it is a false sense of security, and a dangerous one at that. Unlike NK they don't have a superpower to protect them. I believe that once they get the bomb, and i'm thinking they will regardless of any present of future efforts short of invasion, they'll either use it (possibly by proxy) or threaten to use it and at that point somebody will let loose on them.
