What is Rodman even doing there? Surely the State Department had to sanction that.

Rodman obviously doesn't understand much about world politics. OTOH, he does have a point that maybe we should be talking. How can it possibly be that we can spend 10 years arguing about whether a discussion can happen 1-on-1 or whether it has to happen in the context of a regional meeting -- while this country is actively developing nukes?

There will be a day that terrorists get nukes, and right now, the most likely place to get them is N. Korea. How can it be that Rodman is our only ambassador?

As much as I have the urge to rip on Rodman, I have to say he makes as much sense as anybody else -- maybe more sense.
