#1 The entire nuclear powered world needs a mark, a target to evaluate and analyse the effectiveness of their arsenal and delivery systems. We have all let ourselves be paralysed into nuke flaccidity by the boo hoo hoo after Hiroshima. Some asswipe acquires nukes nowadays, no telling what he could do. WMDs, even conventional defence capability should be for only responsible societies not bloodthirsty imbeciles. Such people should be instantly converted to Pokèmon gamers.

I think NKorea is a perfect mark. Of course Pakistain would be my favourite. Such an action would also establish dominance over the Asian paper tigers for the next generation at least. People would walk softly and play nice. And nobody would miss NKorea seriously.

#2 Seaul is near the border and houses most of the South Korean population and government. You don't need a shower of missiles.

#4 ..any firing site or launch site would experience what Russian artillery is experiencing today. You think the Norks practice shot and scoot better than the Russians?

#5 I doubt the norks have the energy to shoot and scoot.

#7 The Norks don't need to shoot and scoot. They are thoroughly dug into the mountains over the DMZ in a maze of bunkers.

#9 ...laser guided munitions reduced the effectiveness of those when you can land a round right into the portal.
