So North Korea is a "rogue state" that commits "transgressions" by acquiring nuclear weapons and ICBMs. Meanwhile, the only power to ever have used nuclear weapons is spreading freedom, welfare and enlightenment in declared and non-declared wars all over the Middle East. Got it. 

Seriously: just because North Korea treats its own citizens atrociously, they are not a threat to world peace. What Iran and North Korea are trying to do is what any responsible leadership would after watching what happened to Iraq, their fellow member of the "Axis of Evil."
