In Defense of the Fatherland

Selig Harrison, North Korea's most prominent Western fan boy, says the great patriotic people of North Korea would never overthrow their government. We are fools, at best, to believe otherwise.

Gosh, just why would North Korea have granted Mr. Harrison permission to visit North Korea eleven times?

I have my guess. Like many Westerners, he seems to believe that it is his highest calling to calibrate how many Western retreats are needed to achieve peace with some despot.

Perhaps it is just my utter ignorance that keeps me from seeing Mr. Harrison's genius. You never can tell.
