On NoKo.
That Kim Jong Il's regime exists, in large part, in opposition to the United States, and thrives on a cycle of provocation of America followed by our humiliation in the form of appeasement (Bill Clinton's visit, photos of which were triumphally splashed all over North Korean media, is just the latest example.) Normalized relations, and a concession on the scale of dismantling the nuclear program, would run so fundamentally against the regime's identity that it could no longer exist.
So, that makes us the superhero and them the super-villain, sort of like Samuel Jackson's character in M. Night's UNBREAKABLE. I wonder how they see themselves. That is maybe the scariest thought of them all...
