Except the difference is the Americans never had to deal with a hostile next door neighbour with the personal financial and arms backing of the world's largest military superpower so this is a laughable attempt at equivocation.

You might not like the DPRK (I'm not a fan either though then again it's hard to have a firm stance on an area in the world where there is almost no non-propagandised information on) but it makes a lot of sense why somebody from Pakistan of all places would be sympathetic with their situation.
