does North Korea have anything to offer the world?

In all actuality they do. Once you come to recognize that one of China's main concerns (hence all the help with N Koreas nukes) is a united Korea on its border. The South is already an economic free market powerhouse, and with all the cheap labor in the North they'd be a real threat, along with Japan , to Chinese hegemony in the region.

If Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld talk about a nation, it has vast oil fields.

The fact that their bureaucratic incompetence doesn't make them an economic threat doesn't mean they offer anything to the world.

My guess is nothing. Many countries really don't offer much other than labor to the global community. N. Korea is no different.

What I'm saying is the best scenario for the free world, and the worst for China, would be a united Korea on its border. They would be a great counterweight to Chinese aspirations in the region, and take a load off the US in the process.

North and South Korea were once united. China maintains the N Korean regime both as a buffer as well as to neuter S Korea. If that regime were to fall China would likely invade if it appeared anyone unfriendly to their interests (ie a puppet) were to take power.

But if they ever did reunite S Korea has some muscle and a strong economic machine both to put the North to work as cheap labor (competing with China, Korea would be a more appealing investment nation as it has a stable democratic government and isnt run by a mafia like China), and as a potential military power allied with Japan in its own interest against China.

While Korea is divided China only has to worry about Japan, and to a lesser extent India (which really more or less just wants to be left alone by China anyway)

True. But still, N. Korea at it currently stands offers nothing construtive for the world. I guess that is what happens when you convince yourself that the spoiled playboy who runs the country is the son of god.

I doubt the tens of millions of N Koreans in that country see him as a God.

I do believe his penchant for murder and torture, as well as putting over 300,000 people in concentration camps in that country (as of now) goes a long way towards diminshing the complaints about his regime.

My understanding from reading defector testimony is that alot still think Kim Il Sung is a God. The only reason they turned on Kim jong Il is due to the famine.

People in the US, south america & europe think a day laborer who was executed for treason was God. It all depends on what is normal for your culture. If it is normal to think your political leader is god thats what people will think. Unifying religion & politics was extremely common until recently anyway.
