The thing NK doesn't have is the ability to implement a MAD policy. Even if they could nuke Seattle or another Pacific coast city (Seoul is way more likely than the US), they would be sacrificing their country in an instant. I don't think the leadership is that disconnected from reality, even if Kim Jong Il was (but even that needs to be questioned, because despite the rhetoric he never attacked SK). They have too much to lose. I think they want a bomb to deter an invasion.
