If you are going to argue about military action, at least address the realities of the theater you are talking about. We could have pulverized North Korea years ago, but it would have cost of the lives of 70,000+ US servicemen in the Korean DMZ, maybe a million+ South Koreans in range of North Korean artillery (e.g. all of Seoul) and perhaps even some Japanese unlucky enough to be in range of North Korean missiles. No one is going to make that trade for a preemptive strike, although I could see it being made if the North were in the process of invading the South.
