Basketball Diplomacy

If you had to pick a public American figure to travel to North Korea and meet with the 28 year old heir to the leadership of that fortified and embattled nation, who would you pick? The head of Google and Bill Richardson? Tried that, no luck. Oh Hell, let's just roll the dice and send in the most undiplomatic and unpredictable person we can find. A complete nut case. Who would that be? Bingo, Dennis Rodman. Oh, I know, you're going to say that is like something from a movie, that it would NEVER WORK.

Until, guess what, it did. Let me take this a step further. Could ANYONE ever imagine Dennis Rodman getting a Nobel Peace Prize? Hey, the committee are all Norwegians, they don't do things that make sense to us, they do what they think makes sense. You heard it here first. I am debating making a call to a bookmaker in London to put down a bet on this one.
