After thinking this over, I actually DARE north korea to attack.
With what?
Tanks?
Their tanks as far as common intelligence is concerned, is incredibly outdated.
I swear, the military wouldn't even need to be involved. They want to invade Seoul? The citizens will grab some construction cranes and blockade the streets. Problem solved.
They're going to lose the war no matter what, South Korea will invade and own North Korea, they will merge to become Korea. Assimilating North into South will cost tons of money but will also provide plenty of jobs. There will be a slight period of time in which Korea will hit a huge recession but will recover stronger than ever with the new availability in land, direct ground connection to China, and natural resources.
With this Korea could probably easily match or surpass Japan too.

I kinda hope that North Korea does attack so they can lose miserably and the dispute will finally be over. Korea is an awesome country, and with double the landmass and population I'm sure it will be even more awesome (*cough and perhaps pump out more and better MMOs cough*)
Ummm that's like gas into the fire, the disputes will keep on increasing. And it could cost utter chaos.

The sad part is China gonna intervene on this one, they have a huge population as it is, and now if war does happens, gonna face immigration from N.Korea. Attacking S.Korea, would change the focus (again) from the middle east to N.Korea, and as Kitake27 puts it face the entire world, where N.Korea only ally is terrorist. If they think Iran going to join in they must be joking, cause Iran more than likely treating them the same way we do to a country that is easy profits, with less risks, yeah Iran is going to ignore them.

Well I mean if Kim Jong Il is killed I'm pretty sure the citizens will be pretty happy. It's an oppressive state, they most likely wouldn't rebel if the two merged under southern control. Perhaps there would be retaliation from Kim Jong Il's children, but there aren't that many of them, so I don't see how it could cause utter chaos...

My thoughts exactly.

North Korea has been under what, 2-3 generations of people living under constant propaganda and thought management? I'd really be surprised to hear that 80+ years of living in such a state hasn't turned the citizens into mindless puppets of the government. (key worries there: racial tensions [among North vs South Korea, no less. Hope for Korean:Asian slim, Korean:Other none)
I really think that it would take nearly the full effort and support of the entire international community to make one "Korea" a reality. Not gonna happen with the world economy as it is.
