No, it's your "If it doesn't affect me I don't care" perspective that allowed people like Hitler and Stalin to commit their attrocities.

In fact, it's called rational thinking; a quality which you do not seem to have. If Russia would attack the US with the intent of reestablishing the Soviet union and all of its old traditions, and you see pictures all over mass media with Russians who celebrate the attacks, wouldn't Bush perchance be likely to retaliate using military efforts or even nuclear weapons? What if Russia NUKED the US into oblivion, wouldn't a retaliatory strike take place? Or would the US gladly accept their loss? "Oh, wow, you nuked us and KILLED 99% of our population, capitalism must suck. We surrender." I don't think so.
So, let's bring this to the North Korean perspective ONCE AGAIN. The US strikes North Korea, and the collateral damage is great. Kim, who has a nuclear arsenal, would hardly just accept his loss; he'd unleash his nuclear wrath upon Capitalism; the
EVIL of the world.
Oh, and maybe you overlooked North Korea's chances of turning into a democracy without fucking running at a risk of turning the Earth uninhabitable from permanent nuclear winter? Efforts are being made, especially by the UN, to get North Korea to give up their entire nuclear arsenal. They WILL get free, although the talks are going to take a number of years. A DDR-alike revolt could take place, too. And I hardly see a population of 22 million North Koreans to be a "measily peasant revolt", as someone ever-so-eloquently put it. And where exactly did you find out that their army is loyal to Kim? I'd REALLY like to see your sources for your information, zagggon, due to the controversy you've created.
I'm not liberal. I'm not even a member of the United States. All I do is to think rationally, unlike some others who think war is the ONLY solution to everything. Fucking atrocious bullies.
And no, communism is bad. It's very bad, especially as it isn't established as ANYTHING but a despotism anywhere in the world. Communism shouldn't have a leader who rules the people. How is that equal to anything? Forcing communism upon a people doesn't work without great casualties. The world should and WILL get rid of it, but war is NOT the key. War is just a dumb excuse for letting the US improve its heavily-war-dependent weapon industry economy.
