Alot of pesky details regarding the ROK that we don't learn from traditional media, such as we are effectively in command of their military in wartime which was just extended again until 2015. Sorry but I didn't know this until the last couple of days of research. The US through the UN Command has operational control ( OPCON ) with a US general at the top and an ROK general as 2nd in command. The ROK can't retaliate unless we approve it, although new rules of engagement are being negotiated. That being said, it looks like the North should sanely come around with the recent US-ROK trade pact, and the fact that China-ROK trade is double ours and China wants more. China still doesn't want a democracy on their border though, so the North will be the jealous odd man out. I see what you mean with dem legs.
