Dealing with crazies always sucks. Can't win proposition.

I'm not worried about the quantity of artillary that the North Korean's have aimed at Seoul, I more worried about the type of artillary.
North Korea is very active in the chemical and biological weapons research areas, and probably have the biggest stockpile of that stuff in the world ranging from old fashion mustard gas and chlorine, right up the the more exotic binary chemical weapons where a single drop on your arm will kill you. They also have a lot of persistant chemical weapons that won't break down after a set period of time.
If North Korea decided that they were going to go fight in a war that they can't win over the long term, it wouldn't take much to mix some of this stuff in with regular artillary.
While properly trained soldiers can fight and survive in a BC environment though its not pleasant. It would be incredibly destructive on a large civillian base.
