How do you know that anything but a minority of the North Koreans want to be liberated by outside forces? Because if they don't, then you are committing millions of troops for however many generations it takes for the population to realize they are better off liberated.

Well if the descriptions one reads about North Korea in various papers are at all accurate, common sense tells me that knowledgeable North Koreans would like to be part of the normal world. Furthermore, Koreans run away to China at great risk to themselves and their families back home. That indicates something there is really wrong.

As for committing outside forces, I didn't say what the best method might be to remove Kim from power. Military force, as usual, would always be on the table, but there are probably plenty of non-military options to pursue before launching an attack.
