Is that although we're living with nuclear powers such as China and Russia, realistically they want to avoid war with the West as much as we look to avoid war with them.
In terms of North Korea, considering their isolation their nuclear weapons aren't a greater threat to people who are not their neighbors, and even to their neighbors they don't pose much of a threat at all so long as their periodic demands for food and medical supplies are met.
Iran though, is a much, much different case. This is a country that has dedicated itself to the destruction of one state and an entire race. This is Nazi Germany with nukes and with a guy crazier than Hitler and hoping to use them. This is a country that no one can deny is a state sponsor of terrorist groups that attack Western citizens and Western interests world wide.
This is not a country that America or the West in general can allow to have nuclear weapons. If an invasion to topple the government is whats needed, then it's what should be done. It's what must be done.
People always talk about global warming, and the world we're leaving our grandchildren. Well, I'll be damned if I leave my grandchildren to inherit a world where the next 9/11 is financed with Iranian money and using Iranian nukes. It's time somebody does something.
It's time to take a stand.
