North Korea Has Deployed Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles
The Defense Ministry has officially confirmed for the first time that North Korea has in fact been deploying new intermediate range ballistic missiles, with ranges of 3,000-4,000km -- far longer than those of the Rodong 1 missiles that go 1,300km.

A U.S spy satellite detected 10 units of these new missiles and launching sites at the two bases, the sources said. The new intermediate missiles can reach Hawaii and Guam, a U.S strategic stronghold, as well as Okinawa.

N. Korea attack on South would be lethal
If a conflict did escalate, most analysts agreed, North Korea almost certainly would lose to the better-armed, better-equipped and better-trained U.S. forces — but not before it wreaked havoc.

U.S. Forces Korea and others estimate massive casualties in and around Seoul — up to 1 million in the first 24 hours alone — even calling South Korea's capital "the kill box." More than 21 million civilians are in the Seoul metropolitan area. At about 50 miles from the Demilitarized Zone, they��re well within North Korean artillery range.

But, aren't the North Koreans starving?
The North Koreans seem strong enough to build weapon systems, deploy them, and develop tunnels (underground bases).
