Take aside their atomic weapons (which would be directed at South korea or Japan or other western oriented countries) they also have a huge military power. I heard they spend about 25% of the national income on the military and have been doing so for decades. They have an army of milions of people. Ofcourse it also has a population that is one of the most opressed in the world and fully deserve the right for democracy, I still believe this can't be accomplished by military force or it would cost hundreds of thousands of lives. I don't think the oposotion in the world would be as large as it was with Iraq but you certainly would not be able to find coutries to help you attack SK so you would have to again do it on your own.
Then again, we are talking about Bush.
What worries me is what we are going to do with their nukes. I really have no idea how you handle a country like this. What I do know is we need to do something to deal with them soon. I don't know if you can handle a country like North Korea with a simple invasion like Iraq. At this point, i'm not sure i'd support an invasion either. I just hope we will be able to resolve this through diplomatic means....
