I think we (U.S) should make North Korea a parking lot for South Korea...but that's just me.

I think (I) will stay out of this discussion,  but still want to see how it works out.

Are there any north koreans out there who'd like to join this discussion?
I'd like to hear it from the horse's mouth.

I believe the threat of a nuclear strike on someone in the region is of the gravest threat to humanity today.
The Taliban grabbing nukes and the Iranian nuclear development pales into insignificance compaired to what the North Korean maniac is likely to do.
In Pakistan the support for the Taliban quickly vanished when the people there realised the consequences of them obtaining nuclear weapons, and the peoples of Iran are right at this moment, showing their maniacal president that they won't allow Iran to go down that suicidal path either.
But North Korea's people are but minions and have no powers whatsoever. If their maniac wants to nuke someone, he will simbly order it done.

One thing I do know is where all the US nuclear submarines are at the moment.

War with North Korea would:

a) Bring along massive civilian casualties. These people have nothing to do with their leader's crazy ideas.
b) Such a war would lower US popularity even more(yes it is possibe to go lower) and places like Pakistan, Iraq would not support anything US proposed anymore. We need Pakistan to fight in Afganistan you know.
c) South Korean economy would collapse if North Korea would collapse. South can not reunite the country with out a economic catastrophy.

SO to my mind we need to avoid full scale war at any cost.

You need to tell North Korea that Alyster, not the US and it's allies.
Unfortunately if North Korea gets sent to the stone age, they will have nuked someone in the region first.
