You have to remember that North Korea has been 'technically' at war with the US for 50 years, (see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10165796) They simply want a deterrent (and bargaining chip) and are unlikely to use such a weapon, despite the rhetoric. It would be suicide, and I doubt any Government would be that mad to bring about the destruction of human civilisation.
Just remember MAD means "mutually assured destruction". One nuke from North Korea would bring a rain of hell down upon them. There would be no winners. And that is why it is unlikely, although not certain, that there will be a nuke war any time soon.

I hope you are right, Peter, but I wouldn't trust the kim Jong-Un as far as I could throw him-and that's not very far!
