Don't the N.Koreans have nukes already??!!
The problem is that N.Korea is not Libya or Iraq, they can hit back.
Politicians may talk tough, but that's just politics, believe that and you'll be buying snake oil soon!
North Korea has missiles that can hit Japan, and even if the known N.Korean sites were successfully taken out, the missiles would rain down on Japan, and this would seriously threaten the world's economy, and probably ruin Japan's.
Also, if the Japans were to strike out first, they will be the aggressors, and loony Kim might very well used nukes, which would mean that the only country to have ever been nukes would be nuked again!
Also, China will most certainly not be happy, and may supply anti aircraft missiles and other such weapons to the Koreans, and tension in the region would certainly shoot up, but I can't see the Chinese actually getting directly involved in this potential war!
I'd also love see some info on the Japans air force, and see what their capabilities are.
THE WORLD IS A BRIDGE, CROSS IT, BUT BUILD NO HOUSE UPON IT!
