I don't believe in North Korea posing any real danger. DPRK's leaders are everything, but not imbeciles. Sure, they can inflict a terrible damage on South Korea or Japan by launching a sudden attack, but for what purpose? The regime is preoccupied with survival.
Of course, "knocking down" DPRK wouldn't me easy. In 1994, when Clinton considered military options to stop Kim Il-sung's nuclear program, the Pentagon estimated that, while military conflict would end with certain and total victory, it would cost millions of South Korean lives and as many as 100,000 American. Now DPRK got nuclear weapon. Also, this is the most militarized society on earth (and totally indoctrinated), so I can easily say a long, guerrilla war raging long after the government itself collapses.
And if North Korea doesn't pose a real threat to the United States' interests, why to get into this mess?
