North Korea ... Who has weapons of mass destruction? Who is making threats? Who is testing missles with range to reach America?
What's the difference?

You've hit the nail on the head right there, that *is* the difference.
N. Korea has the weapons to hit us right now, so we must approach them carefully and exhaust every last option. To do otherwise is to risk WWIII.
That's why we're not rushing in there guns blazing - we could be signing our own death warrant if we do so (especially since they have big brother China sitting just behind them).
N. Korea is still willing to talk and seemingly compromise - so until they no longer are, the talks should continue.
*Only* when all of that is exhausted should we consider anything else.
