Let's say right after he gives his Axis of evil speech, a mad North Korean spy kills him. What happens now?
Mass-starvation is doing little to dent the ego trip right now.The first two alone probably cause massive issues for North Korea with mass starvation and an end to its big ego project.

The Songun thing is mostly just ideological nonsense on behalf of the Worker's Party. The rank-and-file Korean People's Army is plagued with starvation. Allegedly, it's possible to bribe your way past the Chinese border guards with bread and water.Oh, no. OTL isn’t mass starvation. Not compared to what would happen to them if they did this. The army would be dropping dead as they marched in this scenario.

I agree North Korea would become the focus of US anger. If there is an invasion, the quick victory would satisfy the American People.
I assume President Cheney runs and wins in 2004. If there is no long drawn out Iraq war thing go much easier for him. 2006 is not the big Democratic landslide.
