Oh, NK is easily fixed. Wait until NK makes an unprovoked nuclear attack on 
SK, wait until SK says "we don't care if they are our fellow Korean people, 
they're _violently insane_ people, please help us assure that they won't 
nuke us again" and at that point approximately one megaton per square mile 
will put NK out of our misery. China's closer, so they ought to be the ones 
to do it. If clean thermonukes are used, after the dust settles, it also 
doubles the land area of SK so they won't be feeling any population pressure 
for a while.

The problem we've got with Saddam Hussein is that he's not just interested 
in obtaining WMD, he's evidently interested in passing them out like candy 
to the most radical elements he can find, so long as they're more interested 
in attacking the US than in attacking Iraq.

BTW -- the one situation where I see it reasonable for the US to 
unilaterally pre-emptively nuke NK would be if there is the slightest 
credible evidence of them exporting WMD.
