Don't forget, many of these same posters were probably lionizing Vladimir Putin not too long ago.

???

When did I ever suggest such a thing?

It could be incredibly stupid to ban tourism because one person has died on Ebola.

Hell, we get more than 3.5 million tourists per year here in Victoria....Not a large city, by the way....Why anyone would waste a vacation in North Korea is beyond me.

Your post seemed to infer that since North Korea gets several thousand tourists per month, that banning tourism was a wise decision for them. Wasn't that your point?

More Americans have been killed by Ambien, can't wait to see the RWNJs crying out to ban BigPharma.

North Korea Bans Tourism Due to Ebola | The Weekly Standard
1) Who cares if he bans travel.
2) He may or may not be smarter than President Obama but it has nothing to do with that decision
3) How many people from West Africa visit North Korea?
4) He probably should ban it because I would be willing to bet they are not medically prepared for an outbreak like America would be.
