Kim Jong Il is Dead

This is definitely bitter sweet. Kim Jong Il was a horrible dictator and rotten in every sense, but his heir-successor son is allegedly just as rotten and possible even more insane, plus who knows how he'll react to being thrust into this much power with access to nukes. I'm sure South Korea, the US, Russia, and China will be keeping very watchful eyes on North Korea as the months go by.
Hmm... Never good to hear another human being is dead but I'm not sure how well this scenario will play out with his son taking power...
Wow, that is big news. It will certainly have geo-political ramifications.
I hope there is a chance things will take a turn for the positive.

This was the first thing I thought of, too. The original cinematic trailer for Homefront had this pegged perfectly. If North and South Korea unify, I'm moving east of the Mississippi.
His son is described as being 'a chip off the old block'. A 27 year old who was given the title of a four star general and who is know the leader of an unstable and dangerous regime? Huzzah!
I Hope so. For anyone in Korea, or who has friends / relations there, these are going to be nervy holidays...
The World of golf mourns the greatest player ever to raise a club. Even so, it's hard to feel too bad when a genocidal piece of ****, responsible for the death of over two million people in the mid 90's, passes away.
May death visit his successor son on swift wings.
