An Australian friend, Brendan Brown, visited NK last
August and wrote an article about it for the Korea
Times. A relevant paragraph related to the above topic
I include below, and while purely anecdotal, the fact
that official postage stamps of George W. Bush being
knifed are currently for sale there says a lot about
the regime's endorsement of "extreme"
anti-Americanism, to say the least...

"A flight back to Pyongyang and to a stamp shop. The
stamps and many propaganda paintings, murals and
mosaics showed the pride of North Korea and 
their worship of the two Kims. However it also makes a
lie of their repeated claim that the DPRK endeavours
peace and friendship with all the countries of 
the world. Missiles hitting the White House, American
soldiers being crushed by North Korean soldiers and
one stamp of a North Korean soldier thrusting a 
knife through the neck of George W. Bush don't exactly
re-enforce their professed claim. They do make good
photos and souveniers though."
