"We need to go in and take out what the North Koreans have, and we need to do it now.."

Certainly a valid option to consider... and one that becomes steadily LESS APPEALING as they make progress on their nuclear arsenal day-by-day.

Likely it is the projections (from our military) to expect one to one and a half million dead South Koreans, and about one half million dead Japanese (two important Asian allies for the US... ones we'd like to not bring disaster to....) that have stayed our hand.

That, and the fact that we are rather busy with Iraq and Iran....

Thousands of artillery shells are just over the border waiting to be lobbed into SK....not to mention a million man army.

Not as easy as just "taking them out" though I wish it were.

"We need to go in and take out what the North Koreans have"

I wouldn't recommend that unless you want 1,000,000 North Koreans flooding over the 38th parallel into South Korea. Then what do we do, beg them to go home and leave our little buddies alone? You see in case you forgot, the Army is busy elsewhere.
