Secondly, we would never go toe to toe with North Korea we would/should nuke them. Sure itâ??s unpleasant but it would save many lives.
Actually, nuking N. Korea would not be a good solution by any means. If it stays conventional, China would most likely stay out of it, preferring to kick back and be a spectator instead. If it goes nuclear, however, this would be the surest way to get China involved. Not because they'd be defending their communist brothers, but because nobody wants nukes going off in their backyard. Plus (i'm no expert on this so corrcet me if I'm wrong) wouldn't we potentailly be raining fallout on our allies-S. Korea and Japan?

Very true, iamapatient. While I don't agree that we should have gone into Iraq in the first place, it is very simpleminded of those who think we should have just gone to N. Korea instead. It's a whole different ball of wax with far greater ramifications.
