Feeding North Koreans

Jimmy Carter has once again visited North Korea and has accused the US and South Korea of human rights violations since they're he claims withholding food aid to the north.

Does he have a point?
Should the United States and South Korea be responsible for feeding the North Korean people?

Anyone who wants to get an idea of what life inside North Korea is like I would strongly recommend watching the 2001 Peter Tetteroo and Raymond Feddema documentary 'Welcome to North Korea' which shows what life is like in the 1984 type Orwellian dystopia that is the DPRK.

It's the legacy of Kim il Sung who turned the northern part of the Korean peninsula into a personality cult surrounding him as the Great Leader. He implemented the Juche Idea, Juche meaning "spirit of self-reliance" and even made a Juche calendar beginning on his own birthday - North Koreans are taught to fear outsiders and are indoctrinated from birth to believe that they are the pure and innocent children of the hermaphrodite father Kim il Sung who protects them from the cruel outside world, this mentality is what gave us the North Korea of today - a pariah famine state.
The Juche Tower which can be seen from nearly every corner of Pyongyang is the only thing that remains illuminated throughout the night when the frequent power outages plunge the city into pitch darkness - which is ironic when you think about it considering the only light in complete darkness is shone on the symbol of the so called success of North Korea's self sufficiency.

Anyone wanting to form a clearer understanding of the propaganda the majority of North Koreans take as literal fact should read The Cleanest Race: How North Koreans See Themselves and Why it Matters by B.R. Myers which examines the propaganda and leaves the reader at a cynical conclusion about the countries future.

It is clear that the vast majority of North Koreans believe the party line and would most likely fight any foreign attempts at an intervention to liberate them from their sadistic leader, who unbeknownst to them have them in a bondage of myths and gross misrepresentations concerning the outside world.
In fact the party line is so well drilled into the average North Korean that during the horrific conditions of the famine that begun in 1995 (just after Kim il Sung's death) and lasted until 1997 and left an estimated million dead in its wake patriotism and the will to fight and die in a war against the Americans actually increased.

So is withholding food aid from North Korea a way to punish the regime and force it to change its policies?
Not really as the regime clearly sees its people as nothing more than their disposable property, so when we the west hold back food aid to them and they die its on our conscious - as the criminal leadership in Pyongyang continues to use its resources for its military and nuclear program in which to threaten South Korea and the United States with continuing its defiance of the International Community it long ago alienated itself from.

Clearly the moral thing in retrospect to do is provide enough food aid to steadily keep North Korea from a humanitarian crisis, and what we most definitely should not do is point the finger at South Korea and the United States for the stunted malnourished brainwashed minions that have been made out of the Koreans who live on the northern half of the Korean peninsula.
