Are you actually asking for twenty reasons? I will give some, and if more are required, perhaps someone else will add to my answer. North Korea is now a nuclear power, so war with North Korea could result in the nuclear destruction of some major city such as Seoul, which would be a great tragedy. The US is currently over-extended with the two wars it is already fighting, in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the US really is in no position to fight yet another war. There are always innocent civilians ("colateral damage") who get killed by wars, so war is never a happy thing. It does not appear likely that China would be willing to allow the US to attack North Korea, and the US would not like to get into a war with China, which is tremendously more powerful than North Korea is. Remember that China still considers itself to be a communist nation, despite the introduction of free market economics. Communist North Korea is still considered to be a client state of China.

Why did the US invade the Korean peninsula?

To restore South Korea after it had been invaded by North Korea. The US invaded Korea twice. The first time was in 1945 when the US and the USSR agreed to invade the Korean Peninsula to defeat the ruling Japanese. The USSR invaded from the north and, as agreed, stopped at the 38th parallel. The US invaded from the south and stopped at the same line. The second time, in 1950, the US only invaded North Korea. The Republic of Korea (South Korea) requested US assistance, so when the US entered South Korea it was by invitation, not invasion. The invasion of North Korea was part of the objective of eliminating the North Korean ability to effectively re-invade South Korea.
