North Korea got to be pragmatic

North Korea, billed as a "rouge state" by the USA, has now been under mountain of pressure of the international world for its atomic project that is being run to generate plutoniuman important chemical material for making atomic bombin a huge quantity passing over international atomic disarmament accord. A virtually isolated country by its neighbouring countries has also threatened the rest of the world to test its missiles to know the effectiveness of these destructive force. It is certain that the presence of America's military force in South Korea has made North Korea dubious and they are scared to be attacked by that force, at any moment which is absurd by any judgement, even if we take America's sole decision of attacking Iraq bypassing the UN into account. The reasons are, the atomic and technological strategy of North Korea are far more advanced than that of Iraq and the strategic advantage and war preparation of North Korea are really solid, at least capable of give some counter response which Iraq deprived of. That is why, during the time of attacking Iraq, we noticed, the USA played a softer tone regarding North Korea's threat of disobeying international atomic non-proliferation accord which was quite unusual to America's war philosophy. International war strategists found some interesting ingredients in this policy of US. They expressed their suspicion by having said " it proves that North Korea has had strong foundation of atomic ingredients and that, it would be immature and risky to fall on North Korea before they get a clear picture of what North Korea has in their barrel". Moreover, the war against Iraq was going on at that time. So "executing another war at the same time could back fire"this thought forced the USA to tone down. But, the war is over now and that North Korean leaders should research on whether they would be able to cope with the grandeur of US wrath and to save its existence or it will be ravaged like Iraq, if a war takes place. At this moment, around the world, The US popularity is on declining graph for its barbaric and absurd attack on Iraq. So, it could be guessed that they will remain tolerant with North Korea for the time being to pacify the anger and ire of people around the globe. But, still, North Korea doesn't have anything to cheer about. The tension the North Korean leaders have stirred up in this region is perilous. After Iraq war, Asian economy has observed slowdown, so further war could turn it into a total disarray. Asian economy is completely intertwined with that of the USA and so, any Iraq style solution of North Korea problem would definitely dash the Asian economy.
