Anti-Americanism everywhere

It seems that just about half of South Korea's youths would back North Korea in the conflict if the U.S. unilaterally decided to attack the North's nuclear facilities, if this poll is to be believed.

It seems to me that there are three ways to interpret this rather disheartening piece of news...

(1) "It seems that just about half of South Korea's youths would back North Korea in the conflict if the U.S. unilaterally decided to attack the North's nuclear facilities, if this poll is to be believed."
Ergo, nationalism trumps. Even if your compatriot is a giant asshat like Kim Jong-il.

(2) "It seems that just about half of South Korea's youths would back North Korea in the conflict if the U.S. unilaterally decided to attack the North's nuclear facilities, if this poll is to be believed."
Everybody hates us. Even the populace of one of our staunchest allies.

(3) "It seems that just about half of South Korea's youths would back North Korea in the conflict if the U.S. unilaterally decided to attack the North's nuclear facilities, if this poll is to be believed."
Or maybe people just really, really don't like it when we go it alone instead of working within the international community.

I don't know which is more depressing, really.
