You make it sound like we're the source of antagonism to the North. We're still technically at war and last I checked we're not the ones firing missiles and gloating about "setting Seoul or Los Angeles in flames.
The thing about economically aiding dictatorships is that there's no guarantee you're actually helping the non-'crazy' innocent folks - the dictator is in control so you might just be enriching him and lengthening the people's suffering.

The guarantee is that the dictator will not eat one truffle less and that the people will suffer more. The best way to attack a dictatorship is to fund a middle class with something to lose.
