Is there a peaceful way to change North Korea's government?
Unfortunately, North Korea does not have elections like some other countries. North Korea's current leader was appointed by his father, who was dictator for much of the last half of last century. There are no elections in North Korea, and the concept would be very foreign to people who have never had their opinion asked. Their "Great Leader" as he is called, controls the media and tells the populace what to think. A few years ago, they broadcast then President Bushes golf score, but followed it with a new report that their "Great Leader" had scored 18 consecutive holes in one. Millions of North Koreans die each year of starvation. To travel to another town, one must have government permission to do so. They will only grant it with good cause, so news does not travel between villages. Their will be no elections in North Korea anytime soon.
