As I see it, the greatest threat (in a purely political sense) is posed not by N. Korea, but instead by Al Qaeda operating out of Iran. If we were to have an attack similar in scale to 9-11 occur, and then discovered that terrorists who had taken refuge in eastern Iran were behind it, there could be serious trouble for the current administration.
The political problem is obvious. Bush's opponents would eventually begin to point out that we "attacked the wrong country." They would use this as evidence to support their theory that by invading Iraq, valuable resources for fighting the war on terror were misappropriated.
And that could resonate with the American public.
