Either way you look at it, if Pyongyang falls, it's going to be a political mess for years afterwards.

Then there's the millions of juche-brainwashed North Koreans who would have depression and vengenace on the brain for years to come. That would be the great challenge IMO - convincing an entire country that have been conditioned to follow the "Great Leader" to suddenly convert and trust outside forces where murals of their destruction are posted everywhere.
The minds of the masses seems to be the hardest part in all this, it clearly doesn't work in the middle east either. Until people stop brainwashing children there doesn't seem to be a good way out of any of this.
