Don't think so. Not a direct threat, at least.

NK has always been about extortion and threats. They threaten violence, they work on nuclear weapons, then every few years turn around and offer to settle down in exchange for money, food, energy, nuclear reactors, etc.

Then a few years after that, they say they never actually did anything to begin with, and make the threats again.

I'd say in the short run, Iraq's support of terrorism and harboring/collaboration with Al Queda was more of a direct threat to the US.
