Many people in the USA do speak up and urge the government to stop the aggression against North Korea. People who do so are respected in the US by their fellow citizens and their ability to speak up, organize, protest in a non-violent way is protected by law.

In practice the local police have really screwed up protecting people's rights in recent years but it doesn't change the fact that achieving big goals like changing US foreign policy is HARD.

The difference is in the US change like this is HARD. Not necessarily DANGEROUS. If you can achieve political action and change you are RESPECTED because it is HARD. You are not FEARED because you are DANGEROUS.

Is there a difference between HARD and DANGEROUS when the outcome is similar?
I'm gonna go with, yes? I'd rather be disappointed and frustrated than on the back of a milk carton.
