Problem with invading is, the North Korean's can deploy nukes on any invading force.

Given the state of the North Korean rocket program (very bad), I think we'd have a better chance if they launched at us first.

That way, some nukes wont be used due to Rocket failure (something very, very, common to North Korean rockets), and our missle interecepters could shoot them down.

Given North Korea could probably only launch a dozen nukes at the absolute most, I think we stand a fairly good shot of shooting them all down before they do any damage.
