Now Iran who is in the same situation as North Korea, the only difference is their missils would be aimed at South Korea, not Israel.

This is why the American government is viewed in such a negative light. You don't do what I say, I'll invade you, or I'll bomb you, cause I'm the decider!

To be truthful, foreign policy has been such in America for ages, not just with Bush; the difference is that before it would be underpaying for imported goods, or witholding needed aid.
