We should also be exposing the
North Korean people, through every avenue available, to real
information about the world and the deplorable conditions that their
leadership has created within their country. I believe it was a mistake to do away with the position of Special
Envoy for North Korean Human Rights. We need more diplomats fully
engaged and working on improving the human rights conditions for
millions of North Korean citizens, helping North Korean refugees, and
increasing efforts to educate them. We should be just as concerned with internal pressure on the regime
as we are with external pressure. The Soviet Union collapsed because
everyday Soviet citizens saw how far behind their Western counterparts
the USSR's policies had left them.
