Gulf War I and II were completely different situations than what we'd be facing in Korea.

For one thing, Saddam didn't have a million artillery pieces pointed at 30,000 of our front line troops from only a few miles away. He also didn't have any artillery pieces that could hit a 14 million person city 30 miles away.

I believe the main reason that Lil' Kim has stayed on his side of the DMZ is that he enjoys his women, his Hennesy scotch and his Mercedes too much to want to give them up along with his "God- Like" status (and his life).

If we push the N. Koreans too much their military might decide that Kim isn't so deserving after all and demote him from "God-Like" to dead and then we might see what a REAL war is like, unlike the "bombing fish in a barrel" wars in saw in Gulf I and II.

The NK military knows this, which is why they've more or less have respected the DMZ for 50 years.

Its why they have only violated it with small units, or by tunnelling. I'm not sure that the lack of an invasion qualifies as "mostly respecting" the DMZ.
