You forget, we had a free pass to go into Iraq due to a treaty they signed after losing a war with us 12 years ago. We don't have that card to play with NK.

A treaty they signed? That's like the US bombing Canada and then forcing Canada to sign a contact that says we can move freely in and out of your country as we please. There is no such thing as a war when you have one country with military capabilities and another one that throws pebbles.
As for Kerry's statement, my guess is that in the context he's just saying that he'll do what he says. Bush said he wouldn't allow countries to have nukes, but Korea has one. He's saying Bush didn't follow through with what he said he would. I don't think he's saying he's going to invade Korea...it's too late for that.
It's just politics. Kerry won't be able to stop anybody from getting nukes any more than Bush could. If Bush could have ensured Korea wouldn't have nukes he would have made it that way.
