I am only glad that I was lucky enough to adopt my daughter from there, who knows what might have become of her if they went to war. She already had no parents, no home would be even worse.

It really makes me wonder what my grandfather went to war for when I see North and South Korea still not getting along. It's sad.

Applying what we are fed on the News/history books, local legend...the average North Korean has no-idea of how life and liberty are in the outside world. They have brainwashed for well over a generation now, human rights non-existant the whole time.
It is easy for the ruling despot to continue this through media censorship, internal military muscle flexing and persecution...and over all, fear.
By creating a climate of fear, "the whole world is against us," "we must stand against the Yankee western criminals"...this is fed to the people continualy.
Having a seemingly continual threat hanging over your head...waiting for the axe to fall...that tends to bring about hair-trigger, over-the-top responses. And so allows the doorway to war to be swung open and ripped off its hinges.
The North Korean people believe this from birth, and know no different.
As for the instigators of this type of perversion, well...they're the targets we should really be after. But assassination, even for supposed noble and good reasons, is totaly unacceptable. It would make us no better than those we wish to kill.
Which brings us back to the problem: How do we get rid of despots...legally, morally?
