Probably after Christmas, after the Fall Rally in the markets. In January there is a choice of several scenarios:

1. We can claim a Y2K problem caused it, or
2. We can say N. Korea was behind in its fair share of Global Warming and are helping them catch up to the rest of the world, or
3. We can blame it all on India and Pakistan and say their nuclear missiles misfired.

I'd say after Christmas. If we did it before that would make people nervous and could disrupt the Christmas shopping season. That would have a domino effect on the economy and topple the market, which is already weaving like a drunk! But January would be a good time because that's always a down time for retail and the economy in general. That would give the political leaders all year to smooth things out before the next Christmas season!!

Nah, we don't want to nuke North Korea. We want the north to continue to fall over its feet so that a single Korea, led by the south, of course, can scare the pants off the rest of Asia and remind China that it has more important matters to attend to than snarling at Taiwan. (Of course, the Japanese would get sincerely nervous, but they have already been changing their stance vis-à-vis world politics and military position.)
