NK admits to having nukes
North Korea said it has produced nuclear bombs and is pulling out of negotiations with the U.S. and four other nations to abandon the weapons program. ``We are compelled to suspend our participation in the talks for an indefinite period,'' the state-run Korean Central News Agency said today in Pyongyang, because the Bush administration has a policy ``not to coexist'' with the communist nation. U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice urged Kim Jong Il's government to return to the negotiations. ``There is no intention to invade or attack North Korea,'' she said at a news conference with European Union leaders in Luxembourg.Combined with the rumblings about instability at the heart of the North Korean regime, I would say that this is a last minute attempt to win concessions. However, this weakness does not mean that NK will go down quietly. We have a choice and a gamble to make. Give in to Nuclear blackmail with all the precedents that it will set or risk catastrophic war on the Korean peninsula.

"risk catastrophic war on the Korean peninsula."
South korea and a few other nations in that area are a much more important part of the global ecomny than Iraq was. You can bet that NK would try to bring the fight to them.
If we knew were all of their bombs where, it would not be to much different that Iraq. Our marines would the malnurshied army down.
In theory we could turn over most of the fighting to countires in the area, but in actuality that is a load of crap.
Even without Nukes, Seoul is in range of NK artillery. We could win handily, SK could probably win handily on their own.
We can't win before NK manages to kill a whole bunch of South Koreans though.
yea i agree.
of course we cannot evacuate, because that will just start the war early
