If they do it, Pyongyang will be a smoking glass-line crater along with all of chubby's hidey-holes.
hah hah yeah, a better headline would probably be "North Korean Government Contemplating Suicide".
And to be very frank, this sort of thing contributes to the argument in the Pentagon and National Security Council that it is not good policy to wait until North Korea completes its plan to acquire and deploy a ballistic missile capability which could reach the USA or other Western Aligned nations.
The peaceful nations in the immediate region are already sufficiently alarmed about having a rabid dog running rampant in their neighborhood to contemplate going in and eradicating the entire regime or establishing their own nuclear weapons programs to counter the threat (which is so costly that most of them would probably back military action to remove the regime before embarking on such a course).
Of course, using military force has obvious risks and most analysts I have heard comment are of the opinion that any serious contemplation of a hot war is at least a year and a half away and would only take place if the Norks continue or increase the pace of their efforts to be come an international strategic threat.
Every day Kim Jong Il moves forward on his present course, increases the likelihood that he will be seen more of a liability than an asset alive than dead. See, even though China likes the instability that the Norks bring to the region, the instability of a hot war is an unacceptable option.
Behaving as if he is not accountable to anyone will not decrease the fact that he is, whether he likes it or not.
The Chinese might just green light his removal, either internally through internal Nork channels or by letting the West know that they will not back up the Norks with any retaliatory force if the Western military decides to take out KJI with surgical strikes that leave the government and military crippled but leave the infrastructure mostly intact.
Natural Law is a b*tch and not even a despotic homicidal lunatic is immune to it.
