Do you think that it would benefit the country to "liberate" the people by bringing down the government? I've heard that it would be incredibly difficult to integrate North Koreans into any new system because they would view it as invasion rather than liberation.

Obviously I'm not asking you for a solution or anything like that. But based on the people you met and got to know, do you get the impression that they would be able to adjust their world perspective when presented with a new environment, or is the indoctrination and loyalty really as deep as the media makes it out to be? (thanks for the ama btw, it's been very interesting. Visiting NK is a dream of mine.)
