I have neither the courage nor the conviction to do what Ms. Mueller did. But i won’t sit here at my comfortable desk and tell you “I have no sympathy for her”. I do. She was an idealistic kid who got killed trying to do her small part to make the world a better place.
She knew the risks and still took them. But this wasn’t a victim-less deal. If anything, she had a casual disregard for her family. In that part of the world, it’s not a matter of “if something will happen” but “when”.
It may be a noble thing to go to North Korea to push for reforms but it won’t go well for you.
She was stupid
