Could someone give me a simple overview of the WMD problem in North Korea?

North Korea wants Nuclear Weapons so they can Be taken seriously...So people will listen to what they say..and so Countries will give them Aid (money..food) Also..it is good for national pride...Also...I dont think the average North Korean hates us..they probably like us...they hate there government but they cant do anything about it because the government is to powerfull...it controls every aspect of there life...down to how much food they get each day...if your interesed in what life might be like for a north korean read 1984 by George Orwell
