@ Alonzo: It is not as simple as that. North Korea is strongly allied to China with whom the US is both economicaly dependant upon, and militarily fearful of. It is these very types of confrontations (regional dispures couple with entagled military alliances) that lead to world wars.

Niether the US nor the UN will engage the North Koreans militarily. More likely you will see economic sanctions applied, and even at that, only after some sort of covert or overt diplomatic arrangement with China is arrived at. The stakes are just too high for anything more than that.
