It seems obvious that a "preemptive" (i.e. unprovoked and illegal) attack on North Korean facilities could lead quickly to either immediate action against South Korea or to the North Koreans launching a missile at the U.S. or an ally like Japan. A preemptive strike is supposed to be a risk reduction measure, but it seems like it only increases the risks to the U.S.!

But they will bury you in red tape and process.
