That ought to slow 'em down a bit. The NORKs already have nuclear weapons and rockets. It's only a matter of time (a year? two? three?) before they have a nuke mounted on a rocket with the range to reach US soil. We need to prevent that. Nobody wants to start up the Korean War again, that is too awful to bring back. Diplomacy has been tried for twenty years or more to no avail. Getting a nuclear deterrent (strike force) is so important to Kim that no amount of diplomacy will get him to stop.
If we bumped off Kim, it would leave a leadership vacuum. There would be a struggle between the various number 2 men to take his place. Kim has been executing anyone who looks dangerous to him and so the bench of number 2 men is pretty thin. To take over as NORK dictator you have to have some name recognition and some friends to back you up. We don't know if anyone up north has both the name recognition and the friends required.
The NORK regime might just come apart. It's already under strain, what with peasants starving the the villages and shortages of nearly everything. The only thing holding it together is the army and the secret police. With Kim gone, nobody knows if they would stay loyal to the regime. They might not. At which point, there are very strong forces to pull North and South Korea back together. Much stronger forces than any number 2 man struggling to take over could muster. That result would be wonderful for us and for South Korea.
How to off Kim? Simplest is a smart bomb thru his bedroom window. Or a Hellfire on his official limousine (with Kim inside it of course). Or a very gutsy sniper team parachutes in somewhere, gets to within 500 yards of Kim, plugs him and then boogies to a pickup spot and waits for the Jolly Greens to pick them up.
