Watching the Frontline episode from January. Someone help me understand why we aren't trying to liberate those people?

1) no oil

2) would be expensive as shite. The citizens of North Korea are 10 times more brainwashed than any citizenry you can think of.



Watch this and you'll understand:

The scene where they are allowed access to a citizen's home is particularly telling. Every picture in the family' home is of the Great Leader - they have zero pictures of their own family. You ask them which one is their favorite - they say "all of them".

The film crew gained access by tagging along with an eye surgeon doing humanitarian work. In the end the village people come to get their bandages off, and they all thank the Great Leader - not they eye surgeon - that they can see. One lady gets her bandages off and proclaims "Thank you Great Leader! I will work in the coal mines much harder now".


Anyone in N Korea who can remember a time before communism (if you could call it that) is at least in their 60's now. The majority of N Koreans know no different way to live and believe the rest of the world are the crazy ones. Those among the older ones who would open their mouth to say otherwise have all been executed by now.
