"N. Korea could wipe out S. Korea and Japan WITHOUT nukes and we have been the protectors of those countries for decades." Are you sure of that? Sure, with Soviet and Chinese help, NK came really, really close to taking SK once upon a time. But things have changed. In case you haven't noticed, SK is a very different country than it was in the 1950s. And they have a superbly trained and equiped military. Not as numerous as NK, but numbers don't mean much. NK has the same sort of targets as Saddam had, and SK has the same sort of equipment as we used to turn them into targets. Not that NK couldn't hurt SK, Seoul in particular would be toast, but NK would be fighting a guerrilla action in days or weeks after an attempted invasion. Besides, if SK or Japan were to ask for help, we should be there. That is what allies are for. What they aren't for is attempting to solve their problems without their request. That is rude and demeaning.
