Nuclear North Korea successfully launches a ballistic missile. Should we prepare for an invasion of North Korea?

Quote from Yahoo : Rocket tests are seen as crucial to advancing North Korea's nuclear weapons ambitions. Pyongyang is thought to have a handful of rudimentary nuclear bombs, but experts believe it lacks the ability to make a warhead small enough to mount on a missile that could threaten the United States. The success of this launch "allows the North Koreans to determine what kind of delivery vehicle they could use for a potential nuclear warhead," said retired Air Force Col. Cedric Leighton, a weapons expert and intelligence analyst.

So North Korea has already tested WMDs and is proven beyond any shadow of doubt that they have WMDs. Now they have successfully tested a ballistic missile that could reach U.S. soil.

Isn't it time that we prepared for an invasion/attack on North Korea? Why are the Iraq war supporters keeping silent this time? Isn't the sacrifice of our young soldiers worth the peace and freedom we will bring to the Korean peninsula?

Discuss.

Do you honestly think Obama would attack North Korea? If they attacked South Korea, perhaps. For now we will watch them build bombs and wave our finger at them. I'm sure Hillary will have strong words for them. We helped make North Korea after the Korean war. What a nightmare for its citizens. And for the world.

Will we go to war with North Korea? No. Will North Korea build more bombs and starve millions of its people? Yes. We will go through the UN and make a resolution.

Where's the outrage?

CNN did do over 10 seconds on this last night in the middle of their multiple hour live coverage from Portland.

preemptive war only makes sense if they have oil...

Are the Aleutian Islands really worth a war?

surely, we must think of the welfare of our close allies in south korea.

We're already prepared for an invasion of North Korea.

With a warmonger for a president, this doesn't surprise me.

yes

Once you can put stuff in orbit, it's a very short distance to put something anywhere on the globe. It sounds like they only need to increase the payload to pose a global ICBM threat.

Problem is that they already have some kind of nuclear weapon. In case we attack them now they will at least use it on South Korea. And they would probably give some of it to terrorists. So even if we accept some damage to Korea and Japan possibility of nuclear terrorist attack in the US would raise considerably. Unfortunately there is no good option here. If we do nothing they will enhance their weapons further. It is to late to attack them now. We should just wait for fall of the regime. I do not think they will actually use their weapons. Because our response would be devastating and even if they don't care China does. China will never let them do anything with those weapons because China definitely does not want nuclear war in their backyard.
Countries need to be stopped before they get nuclear weapons. Once they have it it's to late.
Pakistan is another example. There is no way you can now take those weapons with force.
Only thing we can do now is stop Iran. It will be messy but better then nuclear Iran.

Exploding in the ground is a long way from deliverable on a missile. Doubt they could even deliver one to SK at this point unless they used a train.

North Korea?

How about their big brother China who's people are coming over here in droves stealing all of our high paying jobs, taking all of the low paying jobs back to China, and slowly taking over the higher education and medical system.

Priorities, people.
