North Korea is a despicable regime. Iran I have more time for and when it comes to the Middle East, I wonder why the US spends so much time fretting about Iran and yet is good friends with the horrible Saudi regime which is chopping heads off and lashing bloggers and all kinds of bizarre things. No country in this world is perfect, but when it comes to destabilising the world one country does always spring readily to mind and to be fair the UK and Israel typically tip toe along with them. If it isn't toppling regimes, it is funding regime change or else supporting regimes that probably do need toppling. Remember it is just politics and nothing personal. The people of North Korea are just people, just like in Russia, America, or Iran. They do the best the can with the systems that are imposed on them from birth. Israeli politics is nasty and I don't really see much that is positive about that.
