I think Dennis Rodman really has finally lost it.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/northkorea/10534357/Dennis-Rodman-returns-from-visiting-awesome-Kim-Jong-un.html

he declared the leader a "friend for life"

"He is awesome, man,"

When he left Beijing for Pyongyang last week, Rodman said he would have "a good conversation" with Mr Kim to help the world

He spent much of his time in the North training the country's basketball team

I haven't decided which. Part of me hopes that he is doing this to try and change the way his friend thinks in some way ( and continuing to praise him is the only way to have contact with him)...or maybe he is just an idiot.

The executions of many many innocent people. He continues to rule his country in the most unbelievably cruel ways imaginable. He lives like a king having exotic foods shipped to him from around the world while his populous starves in their millions. He's down right hitlerian, as were his predecessors. I'm sure Hitler was fun to hang out with at times too, it's well known he could be charming from what I remember.

highly likely that his little buddy has access to some good party materials and the rodman is more interested in that than anything else... well excepting being the talk of the town so to speak.

and North Korea doesn't participate in the international treaties concerning drug laws and has indeed been involved in international trafficking. Anyone watching Dennis Rodman's news appearances over the last few years can see that things are falling apart for him here, but being friends with Kim Jong Un provides him with a way to continue his substance abuse in a comfortable manner.
