>>The objections to intervening are many, and present important issues to work through. The terrain in North Korea is rough; they really do have nuclear weapons, their military is far more capable than Iraq's and their artillery on the border casts a dark shadow across the 24 million people living in Seoul.<<
The objections here seem logistical, rather than ethical or moral.
Surely there is more to a policy of invading a country whose actions you dislike than "can we get away with it without too much damage to our own troops"?
