So, why exactly, do we have a dang government if not to protect innocents?

In this movie, two American journalists won an interview with Kim Jong-un. CIA approached and recruited them to assassinate him. After many comic episodes in N. Korea, he is indeed get killed. I don't know if they do it or somebody else gets him.
