Of course, then again, we tore through them like a hot knife through butter 12 years ago when they were one of the stronger military prescenses in the world as well. It's not that we're afraid of North Korea, anyone who says that will recieve a liberal dose of scoffing.
More likely, it's because we haven't persued diplomacy yet. Remember, we didn't invade Iraq until they invaded Kuwait, and we didn't go back until we had enough of their BS, and diplomacy proved futile. Kim Jong il has thus far only threatened us, I'm surprised pacifier is wondering why we don't go to war with them, though I'm sure he's just trying to prove a point, we don't because there's no reason to yet. In time we'll properly assess the threat they pose, what they want, and how to go about dealing with them. Hopefully not with war, but don't rule it out. All things considered, they have to know we'd crush them, I think it's clear they want something else. Possibly to do with the United States having lots of food, and them needing some.
