What makes him different from Assad?

I read the other day about how the North Korean idiot Kim Jong Un had his former girlfriend and about 12 others executed by machine gun in front of their families. Then the families were sent to prison camps for their association with the "criminals." Her crime was dancing and, according to the state, pornography. However, no pornographic video has surfaced. And one other thing -- it wasn't specific about whether or not she had a Bible, but some of those executed with her had Bibles in their possession. Mr. Un doesn't look kindly on that.  

At any rate, I wondered when I heard that what Dennis Rodman thought about his buddy after that. And lo and behold, in last week's newspaper, Rodman is back in North Korea to see his "awesome" pal and "hang out and have a good time."

My question is this: Are the people this man executed with machine guns (on most likely trumped up charges) any less dead than the Syrians who were gassed? Why are we upset about Syria (and we should be), but there's not been one word said about Kim Jong Un's recent atrocities? What makes him different from Assad?

Since the freakish Dennis Rodman likes Mr. Un so well, I suggest we not let him back in the U.S. and he can just live in North Korea and play basketball with this "awesome guy" all the time. But my advice to Mr. Rodman is to be careful -- remember, Mr. Un, who is so thrilled to have you as his buddy, once professed love for the woman he just murdered.
