Seriously, a better solution is for the US to pull out of South Korea and let Seoul and Tokya handle North Korea. Let the rest of the world learn to diaper itself.

...let Seoul and Tokya handle North Korea.

And exactly how are Seoul and Tokyo going to handle a nuclear-armed North Korea?

Ground invasion?

Maybe we want to give the Japanese nukes?! Oh yeah, that's a good idea.

If we let North Korea go nuclear, the Japanese are not going to just sit on their hands. They will not wait for nuclear protection from the US. They will build it themselves.

BTW, I have seen more than one expert on Saddam and Iraq predict he will flee the country when it becomes apparent his time is up. I don't buy the idea that he has no option other than to launch WMD's.
