Everyone? I’m pretty sure most people (from both ethnic groups or religions or whatever you want to call them) were civilians...

Everyone who participated in the conflict, yes. The IRA and UDA/UFF were both unquestionably guilty of committing atrocities during the Troubles. The North Korean situation is much different -- one-sided persecution of the masses by the ruling class. The GDR would perhaps be a better analogy. It's hard to envision an end to this situation that does not involve Kim Jong Un and thousands of others on the gallows, which is why I absolutely do not believe in the sincerity of these overtures.

Don't forget about the sanctions.

Good Point!

LOL WUT? The USA literally ran out of bombing targets because they flattened North Korea during the war.

There's a point here, but please don't make it this way, i.e. in the internet trolling style. It guarantees worse discussion.
