Dennis Rodman won't return to North Korea if people don't want him to.

'I don't want people to look at me as the devil or evil person.' The former NBA star teared up as he defended his trips to the militarized state and his relationship with its controversial leader, Kim Jong Un.

The North Koreans bring him there to make it look like all Americans are like him. He is being used and he doesn't even realize it.

Denying he is an alcoholic, he said he was admitted "just to sort things out" and would return every six months "to see where I'm at."

He humanizes the US, is a completely nonpolitical person, and is not possible to take all that seriously. When the international climate is as hostile as it is now with North Korea, sometimes that is best type of diplomacy. Dennis Rodman is like the American ping pong team in China.
