I think individuals care more than our governments do.  When I think of the conditions inside that country--the starvation due to mismanagement and corruption, the state sponsored--or required--of family members spying on each other and reporting the smallest infractions that often lead to death sentences, horrible work camps, it makes me ill.. A satellite map of the world shows a black hole at night where North Korea should be.  And that fat psychotic killer with the bad hair killing his own relatives in the most horrendous ways is absolutely sickening.  The North Korean people will never be able to mount a revolution due to being absolutely repressed and brainwashed. Heard an inteview with an escapee who had been forced to kill his own mother.  They have no idea what the outside world is even like.   Christopher Hitchens prior to his trip to NK said he refused to use the term "Orwellian."  Once there he said he had no choice--it is indeed an Orwellian nightmare.
