Me. Although I predict that the fallout will cover Japan not the Shandong peninsula where I live.

Right now, N. Korea is more dangerous than Iran, just because they have demonstrated nuclear capability. However, they're not the ones who have stated their goal of wiping Israel off the face of the earth, killing all infidels, and placing an Islamic figurehead as the rightful ruler of the world.
North Korea is the immediate threat, but they're not the ones we should really be worried about. Of course, together, we have a situation ala Japan & Germany circa 1940s. So tell me, do missiles in Iran have "Made in North Korea" stamped on them?

6 of one, one half dozen of the other, IMHO.
I think Iran might be a little more dangerous because, essentially, I see so many examples of people all over the place not wanting to admit or believe that Ahmadinejad is a total f$$#ing kook, and ready to buy into the whole "mean ole U.S.A./poor little Iran" riff. I think that there's no defending Kim Jong Il however. He's out there, and doesn't have the cunning or sociopathic charisma to come off as a guy you'd want to eat dinner and drink a beer with.
I think that Ahmadinejad will back off. It's a psychotic chess game he can't win; he's one wrong step away from mate in one, and I think he is a political creature who wants to keep running Iran instead of trying to survive in a crater along with a toxic stew of multiple different interesting isotopes floating about everywhere.

WHEN JOURNALISTS GO EVIL
Why did North Korea decide to blow off all 'negotiations' with the USA? Because they watch Nightline with Jim Leherer. When a news reporter openly prompts a minor US Government functionary and demands to know when the USA is going to launch the nuclear strike against the USA, it doesnt exactly engender a respect for world peace or any of that other diplomatic toilet paper we wipe our arses on.
She certainly wasnt interested in any of that 'were still looking at making the process of negotiation work' prophaganda.
So when North Korea goes to war - having had the good sense to drop their nukes in the mouth of Mt Fuji and a few ground penetrators deep into Yellowstone thus irradiating everyone when the Volcanoes blow - will we hold a mouthy little piece of TV candy responsible for making paranoid people realy paranoid?

North Korea's anctics are almost always aimed at establishing an external threat in order to shore up support internally. The danger is that someone outside of North Korea might misunderstand their role or, worse, that some other political group might want to use attacking North Korea to establish their hawkish credentials.
These are real dangers.

Personally, I still see Iran as the more dangerous of the two. Iran has more money, and what seems to be a long term plan for (at least) regional dominance.
North Korea, in my opinion, is an immediate threat just by virtue of the damage they can do to countries like Japan, South Korea, and others in the area. However, I truly believe the Chinese will do their best to not let that situation deteriorate to far, since it could negatively effect the Chinese economy if their neighbors get nuked.
Ranking other countries as threats. A great American pastime.
While you guys are humming and hawing over those kooks Canada's gonna put one up your poop shoot.

Agreed. I also think we've trained them to do it by appeasing them when they act like dicks.

No it's "saving the rest of the world from oblivion," closely followed by "listening to the rest of the world b@%$+ and moan because we didn't maintain a pg rating."

Yeah, don't you low-brow, chest beating inbreeds have anything better to do like save your economy or health care.
Why is every single American so mind numbingly ignorant?
