Don't get me wrong good for the officials, but if it was an American vessel they wouldn't not have complained or searched in any way.

Diplomatically North Korea is in the right.

You know good and well people wouldn't be so glad if it were an Israeli vessels halted by Egyptians for carrying weapons to some regime in Africa or something.

No country that has made it their ambition to nuke another nation can ever, by definition, be in the right.

The ship was searched for drugs [NK is a pretty big trafficker]  , they just happened to find weapon parts instead.

No, it's not.  You are supposed to declare military hardware going through the canal.

Why wouldn't they just go around South America? Lacking patience?

I would assume it's cheaper to pay the (very expensive) canal tolls than it is to stop 3 times (a guess) for fuel going 'round the long way.  Not to mention those seas down around the tip of S.America are just nutty.

An Israeli ship wouldn't need to go thru Suez. Israel has access to the Red Sea via the port of Eliat.

Also, they can go round the long way.
