If by "another North Korea" you mean a country prepared to stand up to outrageous american threats then we could do with a few more North Koreas.
It's a sad day when Kim's rhetoric actually makes sense, although I bet we could take over then whole country with a couple of Krogers.
U.N. 'Pre-bukes' U.S. Over North Korean Nukes (Score:1, Funny)

(2005-02-10) -- The United Nations Security Council, in the wake of North Korea's admission that it has nuclear weapons, has passed a resolution "pre-buking" the Bush administration for whatever action it might take against the communist dictatorship.
"When we learned of nuclear weapons in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), we immediately feared a U.S. response," said Secretary-General Kofi Annan. "By pre-buking the U.S., the Security Council demonstrates solidarity with the future victims of the American military occupation."
Meanwhile, Democrats in Congress have introduced a resolution condemning President George Bush in advance for "misleading us into conflict with North Korea simply because it's a nuclear-equipped Stalinist regime which has threatened to turn America into a lake of fire."

It is easy!
You just need a critical mass of U238, conventional explosives and a neutron source. Split the U238 in two parts, assemble it in a way that they'll be pushed together again by the conv. explosion, which is also the right point in time to start pumping neutrons in the U238. Voila!

His response sticks with me:
"Oh, probably about 15 megatons. You know, there's a difference between nuclear and thermonuclear weapons that they may have forgotten..."

US intellegence agents, and Russian Intellgence agents, and Vladimir Putin all disagree with you and think that Saddam's regime was preparing terrorist acts [cnn.com] on the territory of the United States and beyond its borders, at U.S. military and civilian locations.
Now, do we have to wait for more American civilians to die (ala 9/11) before you are willing to let our president take action?
The anti-US propaganda surrounding this war has been disgusting.
