This was an exact question I received at districts. My response was yes: NK poses the greater threat, it has the will to go to war, and it has the capacity to fight (Iraq does not have the latter two).

I actually cited the missile tests.

Of course, as it was an extemp speech I had to stay on topic. Really, my frustration would stem more from the focus on Iraq than the ignoring of NK. The UN already has an inspections regime in Iraq (ensuring that no large scale militarization can take place), we are regularly bombing Iraqi military targets, and if Iraq were to do anything provocative, they'd get crushed. Why all the attention?
