(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.

When it comes to dealing with genocidal regimes, the UN is useless. Not a little bit useless, but completely and totaly useless. And worthless.
As far as your points go, the only one that I agree with is that an attack on N. Korea would probably provoke an attack on S. Korea. Otherwise, it would be immoral to
not remove the North Korean regime.
Also, a war on that peninsula would only destabilize the region while the war was being prosecuted. The conclusion of such a war would leave the region far more stable than it is today.
