Note that everyone concerned is basically avoiding the UN. China doesn't want it involved, even though China is assisting us with negotiations. NK said a resolution would be an act of war.

I think we should wrap up Iraq ASAP and declare war on NK. That simple. Let's topple that despot, too. Let South Korea swallow North Korea and let them all choose their fate going forward. If China doesn't like that idea, well it can... it can... dunno, stick it, I guess. I mean, China is becoming yet another bribed slave to US money - for good or for ill.
Just some random thoughts. War with NK seems like a good idea at first blush. I admit it is not something I have fleshed out. Any other feasible way around Kim and his progeny?
I mean, he is after all crazy enough to make Saddam look sane and almost as megalomanic.
