This caught my attention tonight on the Daily Show.
According to Mr. Kim, from early childhood, North Korean children are taught to hate Americans. He even gave an example of math problem that a NK child might be given: If I kill 2 Americans with one hand grenade, and I kill 3 more Americans with another hand grenade, how many Americans have I killed?
Luckily, according to Mike Kim, people inside of NK are beginning to get the message that Kim Jong-il is not a God, and that much of what they have been taught is propoganda. Nonetheless, it seems that we have an entire nation of people who have been brainwashed to hate us.

Mike Kim, who worked with refugees on the Chinese border for four years, recounts their experiences of enduring famine, sex-trafficking, and torture, as well as the inspirational stories of those who overcame tremendous adversity to escape the repressive regime of their homeland and make new lives.
In ESCAPING NORTH KOREA, One of the few Americans granted entry into the secretive “Hermit Kingdom,” Kim came to know the isolated country and its people intimately. His North Korean friends entrusted their secrets to him as they revealed the government’s brainwashing tactics and confessed their true thoughts about the repressive regime that so rigidly controls their lives. Civilians and soldiers alike spoke of what North Koreans think of Americans and war with America. Children remembered the suffering they endured through the famine. Women and girls recalled their horrific sex-trafficking experiences. Former political prisoners shared their memories of beatings, torture, and executions in the gulags.
With the permission of these courageous individuals, Kim now shares their stories and recounts his dramatic experiences leading North Koreans to asylum through the 6,000-mile modern-day underground railway through Asia. His unflinching narrative exposes the truth about North Korea, stripping away the last veils that still shroud this brutal dictatorship...
