Politics aside, and I have great sympathy for anti-globalist / libertarian viewpoints (NK wouldn't need nukes if the US hadn't been so hell bent on regime changing Iraq and Libya), the truth is the rhetoric coming out of the WH is insidious and evil.

Sure, politics are not for HN, but seriously at some point we have to speak up. This goes beyond politics.

Evil is done when good men do nothing.

The DPRK nuclear program pre-dates American regime change in Iraq and Libya by decades. Their pursuit of nuclear weapons, while destablising in the region and for the world, is not tied to post-9/11 American foreign policy - there was plenty of motivation to develop nuclear weapons before that.
