Because Kim Jong Il has a standing army of over 1,000,000 fanatical communist, tactical nuclear warheads, and god knows what else. A direct assault would be a massacre. Thats why the war in Iraq was neccessary. I was a show of force you might say to demonstrate to NK and other dictators that the US isn't going to lay low like it did in the Clinton years.
