sanctions to make things much worse?

Just watching Paula Zhan on CNN with her special on how horrible things are inside of N. Korea, the misery and what people go through just to eat. So please explain to me why the US and its allies would not be guilty of "crimes against humanity" for imposing sanctions on these people just to make a cowboy point against the country's leader? It just as bad as what we and world did to Iraq before bombing the hell out of them and invading. Together, with its "coalition" the US has created and carried out more crimes against humanity than any other nation because of the far-reaching impact of their ungodly acts.

3. How about meeting with N. Korea? How about offering some real
help with their food situation, infrastructure and treating them like a civil nation at the international table instead of the school-yard bully name-calling like "axis of evil.?" Most of these kooky leaders just want to be recognized as leaders of their country and not dissed in front of their people. How about listening to their grievences? Saddam wanted to be treated like the leader of a sovereign nation, able to put down attempts to overthrow his government, able to strike back at his enemies just like any other "civilized nation"...say just like Israel. The US continues to treat non-whites all over the world like ignorant stepchildren. How about a change in our foreign policy starting with the IMF, the World Bank, and our blind support of Israel no matter what? How about getting our military out of Muslim countries? That's just for starters.

4. Talking usually helps!
Sanctions and further creating wars with countries one doesn't like isn't the best answer in the world.
