NBA star Dennis Rodman fresh back from his visit to N. Korea revealed the North Korean leader asked to pass along a message to President Obama, for him to just call Kim Jong Un. It seems simplistic and genuine enough saying he '[doesn`t] want to do war.' But off course this will fall on deaf ears here in the U.S. You have to give Dennis Rodman kudos for having the cojones to go to N. Korea as part of a basketball diplomacy to bring down the curtain over North Korea. Its very important in my mind and others to do so to slough off the layers of grime the media and establishment have painted on North Korea over the years. No country or government is perfect but to menace each other isn`t warranted and people deserve to know the truth first hand like Dennis did, not just be spoon fed lies or propaganda. Now, although on part of the North Koreans some of this may have been part of a propaganda campaign but nevertheless it does more good than harm. We humans now are so quick into jumping to conclusions and preconceived notions that we believe them as fact without ever hearing the other side, doing our research or ignore truths from history. People here need to step off their preconceived pedestals on everything and allow diplomacy and discussion to take place. It seems there is always a certain group who disavows dialogue and wants to keep the penchant of war and hostilities brooding. Lastly George Stephanopolous is a prime example of the very same people who constantly force feed us the same words over and over...from the interview he harped over prison camps, police state, human rights abuse...well Mr. Stephanopolous have you seen what`s happening here in the U.S.? We need objectivity. Only time will tell if the two Koreas and Korean people will ever be unified...
