North Korean leader Kim Jong Il dead, state TV reports - CNN.com

(CNN) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong Il is dead, North Korean state TV said Monday.
Kim, 69, died Saturday, state TV said.
The son of Kim Il Song, the founder of the communist nation, Kim Jong Il had been in power since 1994 when his father died of a heart attack at age 82.
The enigmatic leader was a frequent thorn in the side of neighboring South Korea, as well as the United States. There have been reports in recent years about his health, as well as that power will be transitioned to his son, Kim Jong Un.

How unfortunate. :rolleyes:

How amazing would it be if this marked the beginning of a new era for North Korea. I can't help but think, though, that Kim Jon-il's son will be very much like his father in office... even if it's hard to imagine someone quite as insane as him.

Honestly I've heard that his son is even worse than he was.......as scary to think about as it is.

His son is worse, and his son is basically a dummy, pardon the expression.

But the thing is, since his son is so dumb, there maybe power struggles. Wars and conflicts should be expected.

The Devil you don't know is always worse then the Devil you Know.
I pray that the North Korean people will find the strength to use this opportunity to demand FREEDOM!!

I hope this can bring some form of uprising among the people in North Korea, and that a new government that actually supports the people can be put in place. Unfortunately, it will be a struggle to make any change in a system that has functioned in such a corrupt way for so long.
I wish the people of North Korea the very best.

Looking at those mourners' photos, I'm inclined to think that most of North Korea has already been brain-washed. I doubt a mass-scale uprising will happen anytime soon unless something dramatic happens.

I agree. I was looking at some of the photos last night online, and much of the country appears devastated by his death. He is even lying in state today. I think it will be a long road still for North Korea. It will be interesting to see what happens now.

Apparently North Korea kept his death a secret for TWO days. Looks like the US, Japan, and South Korea had NO idea of this cover-up by the North. Some are speculating that China might have been tipped off as they are allied with the North but no one knows for sure.

For two days, North Korea's best-kept secret - Yahoo! News

North Korea is one to watch, the fact that they could control this kind of news not getting out is just incredible.

It's very easy to cover that up, it's not like they have reporters, Internet, cameras, telephones, computers or anything...

Yes, it's also difficult to understand how they can possibly be brain-washed when they literally are dying.

it's almost like stockholm syndrome, where the victim's originally were going against their attacker but had to align themselves with the perpetrator as a coping mechanism. Then again, most of the people are probably told that if they don't cry, they are dead.
