And they'll likely all be loonies worse than Kim Jong Il, since they'rre more interested in the leadership post that the nation.

The fragmentation of the military might be a good chance for the Coalition to put an end to the tyranny, but US is too tied up and militarily weak after getting involved with religious fanatics and 82% deficit. If it does, it will definitely spill over to South Korea, which is not a good thing at all.
It would be good if China or Russia stepped in to help clean up the mess*.
* - You know how they clean up messes like these. See the Chechen Conflict and Afghanistan in the 1970s-1980s, and Tiananmen & Sino-Vietnamese War in 1980s.
