Is Bob Geldof a Gigantic Charlatan?

I'm fairly certain the vast majority of people in NK would rather live in a united democratic korea.

How can you claim to be certain of that? As far as we know, very few North Koreans understand life outside a totalitarian state, nor can most of them remember life before the war.

I remember a report where a North Korean tour guide proudly told the reporter of how the Leader distributes a certain amount of rice and cabbage every week to all homes. Then he inquired of the reporter how much rice and cabbage was distributed by the reporter's Leader? He seemingly had no understanding of capitalism or liberal democracy.

That's not to say that North Korea shouldn't be liberated. But personally, I doubt there is a major appetite in North Korea for liberal democracy. they probably don't know the first thing about liberal democracy, with the exception of a small number of military & political elites.

And for the sake of staying on topic, Bob Geldof should be made UN Special Envoy to North Korea, ideally stationed in Pyongyang at the pleasure of the Dear Leader.
