And just to be clear, this isn't the same thing as the argument(heard from various "anti-imperialist" quarters) that the North Korean regime are benevolent humanitarians lovingly striving to protect their people from harm. In all likelihood, Kim Jeong Un wanting to prevent an attack on the DPRK is like Marie Antoinette wanting to protect an attack on France. Nothing to do with love for the people, everything to do with personal survival.
This is a type of comment/statement that is usually propagated by imperial/capitalist forces(If I understand it right?) The leadership of North Korea and it's peoples are basically supporting their political ideology. Not really any specific individuals or families. Does anyone really believe that when any of these countries that had so called dictators as their head of state where invaded, the same political ideology was allowed to remain? In fact, I believe that it was the political ideology that the US wanted to change, and not really that hard to convince anyone this is possible (just ask Pinochett) Here's a good rule of thumb, democracy=good chance US can change the government to one that it wants, dictatorship=US enemy(calling someone an enemy is the first step to military invasion). Any questions?
