John, Potentially sacrificing Seoul is not the end of the world. If Seoul is bombarded just because south Korea and its allies are willing to defend themselves than the Kim Government would have proven itself to be a mad dog that would have to be destroyed. The international community would side with the US and south Korea. An added effect is that the US defense and deterrence position would be greatly strengthened. You however seem to think that any American action, even a little one that doesn't signal that "america is a doormat" would immediately trigger a cold war type WW3 nuclear exchange scenario.
