It'd be interesting to see what would happen if the madman was taken out and his obvious grip on those around him thereby released. How would they react? On the basis of some form of pre-determined armageddon type retaliation on SK, Japan etc. or would they seize the chance to have freedom from his tyranny and bring NK into the 21st C?
I wouldn't to be betting my life savings on the outcome of that scenario anyway.
