Please spare me. In a dictatorship the people usually suffer. They should overthrow the "crazy one".

It seems to be a common theme in Asia that human rights and economic advances are separable. We in American know different.

Beneath contempt. And we stand in the line of fire for such as these? This is a product of SK xenophobia--a kind of familial and cultural racism. SK is a military and economic powerhouse--and look at their appalling lack of charity.
Let Seoul manage their NK problem--on their own.

Looking the other way has a long tradition on the Left, be it looking the other way for Stalin, Mao, or Castro or looking the other way for Clinton. Leftist ideology is based on a fantasy and the only way to keep the fantasy alive is to ignore the inconsistencies that would tear the fantasy down. Handling cognitive dissonance is a critical coping skill for those on the left.
