Having nuclear weapons, a huge army, the ability to devastate Soeul, etc. is the best defense North Korea could have against an attack.
If they could develope a missile that could reach the US and the technology to miniaturize a nuke to us as a warhead they would be virtually untouchable.
Kim Jong-Il has no designs on invading or attacking anyone, he just wants to be safe from invasion himself.

Only difference being, the US has a chance to shoot down the missile before they reach NA. NK doesn't.
Once upon a time the idea of MAD kept nations from starting a nuclear war, I don't think NK would think twice about taking out Hawaii if they had the chance.
