I feel like he's a little attention whore or tantruming toddler whom we've enabled way too much. Those types seem to be a lot less empowered without enablers (on either side, for or against). I think we're as responsible as any other outside entity for why NK behaves the way NK does.... Simply responding to the douche I'm sure validates every ounce of his little evil tubby being as well as his actions in his head.
That being said, the cleanest way would be to get the people of the country to topple their own leader. Gee, I don't know why exactly, but part of me feels like it would be really really dumb to remove an authoritarian and military leadership, in a country in an unstable environment without a good plan to replace them, when done from the "outside". And when I say it needs to be done from the inside, that does not mean inserting a bunch of plants and forcing the effort at the tip of the spear, followed by trying to insert our culture over their own, chock full of hand-picked puppets who only made the list because they give the best monetary or political blow jobs. Their general public needs to be motivated to do it themselves.
