North Korea is an anathema to the conser4vative, pro-business Right in America as ever, and it has never been able to win much support among America's extreme Left. Liberals hate it. Most Americans would prefer that the Empire of Northern Korea die as a political system. Whether that results in a veritable satellite of the PRC or gets absorbed into a democratic, free-enterprise, nuke-free, non-aligned Korean Republic, its system is doomed. Under erratic leadership it is likely to do something incredibly stupid. Just think of Iraq under the criminal Saddam Hussein. Saddam Hussein may have been evil, but not crazy.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
