That being said... North Korea has a huge military for it's relative small size and destitution. In 2001 they reportedly had: 700,000 troops, 8,000 artillery systems, and 2,000 tanks ready for deployment with some other figures being:

100,000 strong special forces
1 million total active soliders
6 million man reserve force
12000 total artillery pieces
1700 planes
800 ships (with the largest submarine fleet in the world)

Kim Jong Il isn't playing... if he wants a war... he has the goods to fight one. I hope it doesn't happen, it will make Iraq look like a day at Disneyland.

Maybe you should start running the numbers of the allied nations that would oppose NK. Canada, US, Britain, Japan, possibly Israel, Australia, France, maybe Germany, Russia....I doubt NK wants to even start.
