Probably the same things Bush 2 and Clinton did - next to nothing. That's the problem when you wait till one of these crackpot regimes gets the nuke. There's not much you can do about it then.
All the more reason to make sure Iran never gets one.
The other thing he'll do is whine about it being a problem he inherited from the previous administration as if he didn't know these things were going on when he decided to run for president.
Good thing he brought good ole Joe Biden on board for his foreign policy "expertise."
Though he may have known about this issue prior to taking office, he had no authority or power to cope with it.
Yes, he did inherit this problem.
Congratulations to North Korea and Iran for NK's sucessful nuclear test !
Why ? It means both countries will have two sources for plutonium soon after Iran finishes maunufacturing plutonium and can fuel it's warheads whose designs have verified by Iran's near critical simulation technology. I.E. Iran does not need to explode a real bomb to claim to have a working bomb. Thus, if either country is attacked an alternate source of plutonium is available.
Those sneaky Asians and Caucasians in North Korean and Iran !

Every president inherits a host of problems domestic and foreign, only this president whines and gripes about it. Kind of odd considering this was the guy who was supposed to solved the toughest problems with only the aid of his trusty teleprompter. Now that he's in charge all he can do is wring his hands and complain "the last guy did this!" Imagine if George W. Bush spent the days after 9/11 (or any time) blaming the Clinton administration for doing absolutely nothing to thwart Bin Laden. He could have done so and been quite correct, but it doesn't solve the problem.
I think Obama would have behaved differently had he any experience whatsoever as an executive. Having never had any position of even light responsibility, one shouldn't be surprised at his numerous missteps. Hopefully he's a quick learner.

absolutely nothing. The western world has no balls anymore. we will continue to wait, wait, wait until disaster strikes.
well, unless another hardline right wing administration is voted in next time to create a whole new set of disasters. But they too will continue standing by while the real problems evolve.
Go U.N.! Start frowning at the cameras very severely! That'll show the evil doers!
Actually, there is something you can do. 8 laser guided JDAM 20,000 lb bombs can destroy their nucelar facilities. Even they are not stupid enough to try to retaliate by attacking south korea.
How it's gonna go down:
Exactly. It would not be terribly difficult to snuff out their still small nuclear program if we really wanted to. But that would take more collective balls than the US or UN currently have. Everybody would rather just sit around and sing coumbaya and hope the f***ers never decide to use their new weapons.
This has nothing to do with balls and everything to do with the fact that we haven't been provoked. NK won't do jack with its nukes because every country it could possibly use them against either has far greater firepower, allies with far greater firepower, or BOTH. NK just wants to be one of the cool kids on the block, and its "dear leader" has to keep showing his people how great he is. Iran is a little different, but I don't think Iran would even consider launching nukes until they are reasonably certain it won't trigger a massive retaliation from more powerful countries. Remember: crazy dictators want to live and stay in power, and won't do anything as stupid as attacking a superpower or a country a superpower would want to protect.
this marks the end of the world in 2012 just like it is predicted.
Iran and NK are working together on the bomb. NK supplies all blast data to Iran for near critical simulations. Iran and NK have been directly assisted by scientists from Pakistan, Russia, India, and China. Black market nuclear techonology and materials have been supplied from the U.S., U.K., Japan, Germany, France, Israel, India, Russia, China. No matter what we do, Iran and North Korea has multiple redundant sources for highly enriched uranium, delivery systems, semiconductor fab, and simulation technology. The cats out of the bag. The whole world is going down the toilet !
at some point in time in the very near future (10, 15, 25 years) making a nuclear device will require the same skills as making a strawberry milkshake
we can either come to that reality now or pretend to be surprised later

Yes they are and they will kill millions under the democrats watch.
Big deal.
Israel has over 200 nuclear warheads, and idiot Americans still believe they're our ally, even though they constantly take US technology, sell it to the Chinese, thumb their nose at us and keep our pussy politicians in DC at bay via threats of "bad press", blackmail or bank manipulation. Sure, it's all conspiracy theory. Look up the theft and sale of US technology by Israel to China. Then look up "The Samson Option". It appears there are a number of insane, power-mad regimes in the Middle East. One of them is Israel, which hides behind empty accusations of "anti-semitism" to deflect valid criticism. They're more of a danger than N. Korea or the ridiculously exaggerated claims about Iran.

Exactly and when people start getting incinerated, what are Most Americans going to do?
Nothing...absolutely nothing.
