Rudey, you should know that unless the security council authorized something, the UN can't do anything. None of the Security Council Perm 5 has even fanthom of attacking N. Korea. Why people might ask?

(1) It will be inevitable that N. Korea will lose in the end, however, they have the capability to destroy seoul and there goes 11 million inhabitants.
(2) Nobody really know what kind of WMD they actually have. They kicked out inspectors last year and nobody has monitored them since.
(3) N. East Asia will be destabilized by the war. They also have, reportedly, the ability to attack Tokyo. Put in a few chemical warheads and you have up to a million death.

BTW, nuking any country should never ever be even considered for conventional warfare. The environmental damages alone will caused the S. Korean economy to collapse. also, think of the damages that the nuke would cause to the surrounding nations. The Chinese would not be very happy, neither would the Japanese.
