Nukes in North Korea

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

And if North Korea has nukes and no American knew it, would anyone care?

Are the same people with trembling voices who call C-Span even aware of which countries do and do not have nukes, or have had them in the past, or have the technical ability and wealth to easily recreate them again?

I'm fairly confident that Ecuadoran Indians or Albanian peasants don't give the subject a second thought. Good for them -- I'll follow their example.
