Interesting news from Korea
Sadly, I don't think anything will change, his son will be the same monster he was.
Meh, Some day the people of his country will have peace and justice.Originally Posted by 1 Patriot-of-many
It's illegal in North Korea to pass out in the street due to malnutrition. If they catch you, you're arrested (not fed) most probably shot.
All those images of the starving kids in the fucking "Worker's Paradise".....A reminder why I hated Communist dictatorships for so long. The leaders lived in luxury while the people starved.
I didn't see this coming, this is turning out to be a really great year. First Bin Laden, then Gaddafi, and now Kim Jong Il.
If South Korea is ever going to strike and overrun NK, now's the time.

It will be interesting to see what direction his son, Kim Jong Un, takes the country.
He's only twenty-something, and if memory serves, he's had a Western education, so he might be open to some serious reforms.
North Korea's biggest problem (cult leadership aside) is its wasting fully half of its GDP on military spending year after year to the detriment of the general welfare.
If his son can take on the military establishment and reign them in, there might be hope. Of course, it could just as easily lead to a coup attempt...
"That tyranny has all the vices both of democracy and oligarchy is evident. As of oligarchy so of tyranny, the end is wealth; (for by wealth only can the tyrant maintain either his guard or his luxury). Both mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms." -- Aristotle, Book V, 350 B.C.E
He's 27 or 28. Likely went to school in Switzerland......loves basketball.

Where can I send my vial of urine for his grave?
And I am confident little Kim will be just as good as little Assad and the little Husseins.
Telling the truth is treason in an empire of lies.

History has a severe case of stuttering complicated by chronic hiccups.
It always repeats itself and it never fails that something will go horribly wrong along the way.
Direct democracy is a gang rape. Eight men vote to rape one woman and the woman has to accept it because the majority decided that it was ok. A constitutional republic on the other hand is eight men and one woman with a full mag. Think about it for a while until it hurts your head.
Breaks my heart. Not.

After today, it's all historical.
I hope you don't seriously believe this.
Finally. They are finally telling everybody he died.
I heard months ago that there were rumors that he had died.
But remember, Kim's dead father is still the the ruler of the country, and god.
