In today's day and age, it is critically important that people have a good understanding of how Americans see and have historically seen North Korea. I think the attention is often focused on what the US government plans to do, but as we repeatedly see in history, the government's decisions are heavily swayed by a public mandate. On a separate note, there is a multitude of excellent sources that give a neutral and comprehensive look at this topic.
