The bellicose Communist regime in North Korea may soon plunge the world into a real hot war. Its evil rulers threaten Seoul with thermonuclear destruction and brute force is the only card that Kim Jong Il and his lesser thugs have to play. The hungry, tormented slaves of this vast concentration camp live, perhaps, closer to the Hellish world described in Orwell's 1984 than any people in human history. North Korea offers nothing good to the rest of the world at all. We have bribed its leaders just to leave mankind alone, but our bribery has failed.
