He can take out Seoul in the meantime, even on a Non-Nuke basis

And I wonder what all those anti-American polls in SK would show then?

If we show real resolve with Iraq and finish it quickly watch how the NK's will pipe down.

"It will not be cheap. That is why we have backed away. He can take out Seoul in the meantime, even on a Non-Nuke basis"

My deep suspicion is that if the NK Army came across the DMZ in such force that we could not stop them, tac nukes would be considered. Our 2 divisions or so would be unable to stop them without a strong SK Army effort. I am not familiar with the force levels on either side of the DMZ, so cannot really say what would happen. I think this will be a serious problem that we will have to address after Iraq is taken care of.
