Simply put it,there is no way to stop Kim Jong IL ( I call him Kimmy) from building nuclear weapons..North Korea asked U.S. to drop hostility towards it and U.S. asked North Korea to return to six-party talks..Will bombing of North Korea by U.S.Air Force pay off? I doubt it..The only thing I can suggest as a solution to a tricky problem like North Korea's nuke issue is for 2 Koreas + U.S.A. to sit down and have honest heart-to-heart conversation..The trouble is North Korea is so belligerent they don't want peace they want to unify 2 Koreas by means of force..
Anyway U.S.Army is needed in Korea because even after North Korea's regime collapses, there are still other dangerous factors namely nuclear arms race among China,Russian Far East & Japan..Japan may feel tempted to build nukes in the wake of Kimmy's underground nuclear testing..Neither China nor U.S.A. want Japan armed with nukes while North Korea fires away with rockets,missiles or whatever..Six-party talks is one of the best ways to put restraint on countries to North East Asia not to go nuclear not only for North Korea but to Japan as well..
