Every RFA article regarding North Korea accurately portrays it as the saddest country on Earth. If one is not a member of the songbun-core class, i.e. one of the Kim-toadies living in Pyongyang, life is cruel and medieval.
We all know why the Bush the Younger invaded Iraq: oil. Iraq has the 5th largest proven reserves of oil in the world, with Iran being 4th. Syria is only 34th on the CIA World Factbook list, yet we hear many U.S. politicians screaming for intervention, using the possibility of chemical weapon attacks as the trigger. But why is Syria more important than North Korea? I can think of only two reasons: racism against Asians or pro-Muslim attitudes among Democrats.
To blow my own horn, if anyone cares to read a novelette on the subject of an overthrow of the Kim family and the immediate aftermath, search for "saucymugwump" and select the first result. The story is "The war of immiscible ideas"; just read the parts regarding Korea.
