The world is a much different place to make war these days. North Korea, or anyone for that matter, cannot 'sneak up' on anyone in this electronic spying age. That is, physically, like Pearl Harbour. They can only sneak up under false pretenses, like infiltrating terrorists. There are many lessons of the 'trojan horse' theory like the Tet offensive in Vietman that are a result of bad (or lax) assesments of threat that are still useful.
The US has given the world, and Iraq, a Sitzkrieg of sorts, by announcing their intention of sending troops to 'do war' with Iraq. Even the US cannot surprise anyone in today's instant media age.
North Korea is no threat to the US mainland, just to it's overseas interests. It's 'economic colonies' abroad are what should be monitered for any action by the US that would preclude action or war with N. Korea.
