“War” against whom? Just pick somebody, as G Bush did with Iraq? We don't know who made the threat; North Korea themselves flat-out denied doing it, which is weirdly believable - you'd think they'd jump on the chance to take credit, wouldn't you?

It is fairly obviously North Korea. And no, I don't think that they would "jump on the chance to take credit" for making aggressive war against a stronger Power, for the obvious reason that they might fear the consequences.

The motion picture corporations know it was North Korea, which is why they've also stopped releasing Team America: World Police. Every national leader in the world knows that it was North Korea. No, the rest of the world would not unite to protect North Korea's right to attack whomever it felt like. These are just excuses being made for inaction on our part, and they aren't fooling anybody.

I don't even grasp the relevance of your Munich 1972 analogy. We have zero capacity to send teams of assassins wandering around North Korea -- it is a closed totalitarian society. Your statement is thus so bizarre it makes me wonder what the color of the sky in your world.
