Citizenship & Public Spheres

I don't know that deliberation on the issue of Human Rights is the best way to go about solving the problems in North Korea. The United Nations has already laid out a plan for what should be done about human rights violations. Even better would be if the North Korean people could be deliberative themselves, so that they could decide what they wanted in their government. Unfortunately, that idea is so far fetched that it seems almost comical. The only person allowed to have any ideas is their supreme leader, Kim Jung Il, and no one is allowed to contradict what he says. Once the human rights crisis is solved, we can start talking about other forms of deliberation.
