North Korea Doubles Down, Makes Political Statement with Nukes

Kim Jong-Il again has asked for a response from the West. The question. "You think you can mess with this?"
Is it best to just ignore him? Or should we be taking a stronger stance against the nuclear stockpiling going on in Pyongyang? North Korea is looking for a response of some sort. They want something from us. Possibly, they want to be left alone or they want respect from the west so that they can make an attack on South Korea in order to enlarge the communist geography.
