#1 The Norks have no ability to project power other than a few not-so-reliable missiles. I don't see it happening except maybe as a dying gasp.

#2 The Norks undoubtedly have agents in Japan who could instigate terrorist attacks, probably with the help of Japanese communist sleeper cells. Indeed, they may be able to do this in the US itself.

#3 Think GW1 and Saddam's Scuds launched at Israel -not a military move but a political one. No positive outcome, but what else can the little putz do?

#4 The little putz has missiles, nuclear material, and chemicals, brainwashed agents to use them, and is a member in the Club of Evil, willing to share with any terror group who can pay the price. The US Navy is currently tracking a suspect cargo now, which will be seen as provocation. The WAPO article on insurance fraud exposes how naive many are and why he has been allowed to get so far with his dangerous games. With everyone so slow on the draw, we have no idea what has already been exported or where agents or their proxies are currently located. I'd say the US would be target numero uno, and our allies secondary, which would include Japan.

#5 The so-called peace movement undoubtedly has elaborate contingency plans for mobilizing all its resources on behalf of the North Koreans if war actually breaks out. Nork agents would be foolish to miss this opportunity for recruiting saboteurs and terrorists under media-furnished cover.
The peace hypocrites briefly pursued the idea of sabotage right after 9-11, one group going so far as to announce a plan for its pawns to invade Vandenburg Air Force Base and destroy vital equipment. This was hastily called off after the agitators went public, probably for 2 reasons:
1. The Air Force's threat to shoot saboteurs and trespassers on sight.
2. The lack of any covert support from the foreign beneficiaries, since AQ in the US had other things to worry about just then.

With the current administration in power, the first may not be repeated. As for the second, the Norks' far superior and well-documented capability in international and covert action would undoubtedly come into play.
