Like you said we gave North Korea aid, they (unsurprisingly) rorted the system. They attack South Korea and South Korea protests, halts cross-border family reunions etc. but stops short of full retaliation, even though the US would back them in a second, as China is the unknown factor in all of this. The North, with its nuclear warheads has the perfect deterrent.
If we try to find a way to give aid directly to the people then the regime has one thing less to worry about (if it even worried about it in the first place).
China protects the North in the UN, the US protects Israel (granted not directly related, but trying to make a point)...has the Cold War finished or has it just entered a strange and new phase with new players after a brief holiday?
