It is pretty disturbing how people will agree with a country led by a tyrant of a dictator who systematically starves his people, orders farmers to stop producing food in favor of poppy for opium production, his soldiers sell relief food to each others families--the only ones with money in the market while children who entire family already starved to death look on.
Then they blame the US-- popular scapegoat-- for everything and people take the side of a dictator who orders that people suspected of speaking out against him get tortured and executed, their entire family gets arrested, sent to a workcamp, tortured, executed, even children.
How the hell could anyone side with a country like that besides utter ignorance of what is going on in that country?

Europeans on a whole are blaming Bush for not capitulating to Kim Jong il's demands for bi-lateral talks.
The US can only lose the good will of South Korea, Japan and China who are adamant that they be included in any talks since they are most threatened by that wingnut.
Clinton was deceived by KJi twice and Bush (and the group of 6) once. NK lied to divert money to prevent nukes from being developed all three times.
BTW: a French paper said the NK nuke must have malfunctioned based upon the seismic data following the explosion. They were asked how do they know it was nukes and not conventional weapons and replied "Why would Kim Jong il lie about something like that?" So even with the rest of the world seriously doubting the existence of Korean nukes Europe chooses to believe him over their "allies".

The US and UN forces blocked the N. Korea attempt to take over S,Korea .
The north looks at the prosperity of the south and thinks that should be theirs .
Never mind that it's the form of government that allowed the prosperity , instead of strangling it .
The Punk Leader fears a revolt and is trying Nuclear Blackmail to get food and fuel from the West To prevent it ..

No not that disturbing. It's easier for people to believe the US is the bad guy, because the US can be controlled. It's comforting to think if only the US were nicer everybody would be just swell. Much nicer then saying there's' tyrants out there that would kill their own people.

A lot of countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran blame the US for their woes. If you have time watch this video of terrorism and how they blame the west for all their problems. North Korea is just another nation pointing fingers.

Laughable...hell no, I live in Seattle and I am concerned that this nut in North Korea will launch a missile to the west cost of the USA.

Just like iraq and iran, the world has taken too much crap from them for years. When are we going to learn that these people can't be reasoned with, without some kind of force?

Does that mean he's now a registered Democrat? It's hard to distinguish between the rantings of power-mad petty despots and Democrats.

Yep, very laughable. This is one reason most conservatives, like myself, could care less what other countries think of the US.

You know.. when multiple countries start considderring the N. Korea to be the lesser of two evils maybe it's time that we focus a bit more on international diplomacy in the US.
