On the topic of the bombs dropped, it was a show of power by the US. We had already decimated cities (with more Japanese casualties) without wasting a single US life, so it's not like the bomb offered some alternative we didn't have before.
And on the subject of NK's madman of a ruler - I hope he's swiftly assassinated, and that political system completely overthrown so the people he rules over can actually have a choice as to the actions of their country (or at least the illusion of choice).
