Actually we have a lot to gain and so does the rest of the world.

A little bit of peace from a xenophobic country that can barely feed itself is worth the millions of lives (ie: Seoul, and I mean the term "millions" quite literally) this war would cost? The "little bit of peace" is a maybe at best because I simply can't see China not rushing in to fill the power vacuum.

What's most likely to happen on that front is that while we attack from the south, China pours in a few hundred thousand troops from the north and takes Pyonyang then installs a puppet (or just absorbs them).

So in the end this would weaken the screaming frick out of SOKO while strengthening China's control of the peninsula.
