If the International Olympic Committee ever decides to add Totalitarian Cruelty and Nuclear Extortion to its roster of Olympic sports, it might make sense for the IOC to bend over backwards to include North Korea -- which would be a shoo-in for the gold. But the Olympics are supposed to involve healthier forms of activity. So I'd strongly urge a sober rethink of the applause we're now hearing for North Korea's last-minute enrollment in the Winter Olympic Games, to be held Feb. 9-25 in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
And there sure has been plenty of applause, from many quarters, for Tuesday's Inter-Korean talks at Panmunjom and the resulting joint North-South Korean announcement that North Korea would send a delegation to the Olympics.
The International Olympic Committee hailed this development as "a great step forward in the Olympic spirit." United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres welcomed the decision in hopes that it will help "foster an atmosphere of peace, tolerance and understanding among nations...particularly relevant on the Korean peninsula and beyond." President Trump, who made a stellar case last November for trusting nothing that North Korea's totalitarian regime says or does, took credit in a Tweet for being "strong" enough with North Korea to bring them to the table with the South, for the talks that led to these plans for Olympic commingling. Assorted major news outlets have been enthusing about the easing of tensions on the Korean peninsula, and the vision of North and South Korean athletes marching together in the opening parade -- presumably en route via the Olympic ice-skating rink to some lustrous future in which North and South can reconcile without Pyongyang surrendering its totalitarian ideology or Seoul sacrificing its democratic freedoms.
