"FacebookPinterest\n\nFormer NBA star and wedding dress wearer Dennis Rodman will arrive in North Korea today to visit Kim Jong-un, the world leader most recently accused of ecuting his girlfriend, as part two of what he has called his \"basketball diplomacy tour.\" Just what diplomatic functions Rodman will carry out remains to be seen, since he has stated that he won't be trying to secure the freedom of imprisoned American Kenneth Bae. \"I've come out here to see my friend (Kim Jong-un),\" Rodman told Reuters, \"and I want to talk about basketball.\"\n\nIs basketball the secret lynchpin to restoring human rights to those living under the weight of a highly oppressive regime? Have we been wasting all of these years employing diplomatic sanctions and trade embargoes in order to end the plague of North Korea's ruthless dictatorship, only to find out that what Kim Jong-un really wanted was for someone to finally explain to him the damned triangle offense? Who knew that America's favorite (only?) rainbow-haired ex-power forward would understand the key to opening up the cold, black heart of his best bud \"Kim.\" Should Rodman decide next to focus his super powers on the violence in Syria, one can only imagine the sort of peaceful world order we may soon live in. In the meantime, I guess we'll just have to hope that Rodman can calm North Korea's manic leader down with his tales of rebounding glory, or, at the very least, recommend a good sushi chef."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
