Things are going to be interesting for next few months.

Another tyrant out of the way.

Maybe, just maybe, the people of North Korea will get a chance at a decent life, but I'm not hopeful.

I don't think many people will miss him.

I read somewhere that "Dear Leader" had a huge movie collection. Watch eBay closely for the next couple months. :icon_lol:

Here's another one.....

Il won't be missed. His youngest son is the heir apparent, we'll see if he takes power, if he does, how long he lasts and what he does with that power.

We I am an optimist, this is a change for the people of North Korea, and often chage is a good thing, I am hoping the new "Leader" will be different in a GOOD way!

I don't think many people will miss him.

Going to miss making fun of him.

...There's a reason why N. Korea is referred to as the 'Hermit Kingdom.' I imagine his son will have the military advisers call the shots for the most part. Things changing 'for the good' in N. Korea is doubtful. Just more paranoia and insecurity.

My prediction for tomorrow; one of the British tabloid newspapers will use the headline "Kim Jong Dead".

Usually you say when somebody like this dies, better the devil you know. In this case, maybe not.
