My take on it is a little different.
Countries dont go off half baked into some kind of escalating world problem. We went thru this in the Great War, then WW2. Big powers are already behind the scenes working it all out as we speak.
Its kind of like watching your children get into a scrap on the play ground, letting them duke it out until enough is enough.
North Korea is broke, and their 'in your face' approach to their motley nuke program is a novel attempt to force world power aid in exchange for the program.
Iran is whining because it knows the US is tied up with Iraq and we as the general public will bawk at further war by attacking Iran. Its not like the US is the only country that has something to lose by these back azz countries developing nukes. Euro, Russia and China are also on top of it but currently Russia and China are keeping to a set rhetoric . They have economic reasons to hang the US out to dry on the issue so far.
In the end, its a situation that may or may not bring about a wholesale change in the middle east, but probably not. What else is new?
