President Bush is not the blame for North Korea's actions and attitudes - North Korea is.
Here is a link to a story on CNN citing the loooooong running tensions between the U.S. and North Korea. It dates all the way back to Dwight D. Eisenhower and the after-effects of the Korean War.
Tension with North Korea
I do agree with your sentiment (and that of others) that the U.S. should listen to those who keep telling us to "mind our own business". I also agree that it wouldn't take more than a year for many of those same critics to be asking for our help again and blaming us of "turning a blind eye" to global problems.
We are in a no-win situation. We will be criticized for any action we take and we will be equally criticized for taking no action.

It would also be wise to note that the only reason North Korea is currently able to posture and threaten Nuclear war is because the Clinton Administration GAVE them the Nuclear reactors that could produce plutonium at a rate that would allow thenm to build 70+ bombs a year....a move that was contrary to the previous 9 US administrations...their reasoning for doing this? North Korea PROMISED Not to use the reactors for weapons productions....  (oh the Clinton administration gave them 6Billion dollars in aid and technology.
