I really cannot comment about KJI... All I heard about him being evil are from western media sources... The same media sources that said Iraq got WMD, Iran got Nuke, Gaddafi committed mass murder which never happened, Islam is evil, etc... Cannot anyhow believe the media these days...

Western media will spread lies and false propaganda against those regimes that it doesn't like, while covering up its own crimes.
Singapore is pro-west so the propaganda line is aligned with the western propaganda line.

That's the smartest thing I have heard in a long long time. Thank you for the reminder.

Ya ya, when is ours going to join him????

Am in Seoul right now.
Was on the train from Wonju to Seoul when the news was broadcasted via the intercom. Oh it was so 대박! The pax initial reactions were of shock, but then everyone was like rejoicing lol!
When I reached Seoul Cheongnyangni Station, everyone was glued to the giant plasma TV that was tuned to the news channel. Oh you guys have no idea how big this news is to South Korea (and South Koreans)... Many South Koreans still have family relatives up north whom they have lost contact for decades and KJI's death makes a tremendous difference to the current status quo. Many dream of reunification and his death makes this one step closer.
By the way, Seoul is under maximum security now and there are military police prowling the streets stopping random people and cars to get them to show identification. The threat of North Koreans being sent at this particular time to spy in South Korean territory is not something to be overlooked, given the nature of what has happened... Also, they launched a missle earlier today...

Is there a.....
in seoul now ? -
there will be no joy if they throw their nukes anywhere, anytime, whatever
-
his son is going to have a new clear future for north korea.
opps,i spelt nuclear wrongly..
-
As long as DPRK has the nukes, I don't think U.S will dare to attack.
If no nukes, they will dare to attack.
It is due to the wisdom of Kim Jong Il in making nukes that prevented the U.S attacks.
That is his legacy to the north korean people.

and he starved countless of his citizens for it

But North Korea still has sovereignty and not under puppet regime. But their system is too extreme, it should be reformed.

Will his son (heir) be able to make it as Leader of NK?
He is so young

I doubt he will. Believe he is groomed to act like the late father. -

Wonder whether the U.S will take advantage and put pressure on the DPRK as they see that the guy leading it is young and inexperienced.
This is where having nukes is really a advantage to ward off U.S threats.
Gaddafi gave up his nukes and ended up dead.

Wonder whether his son is as skilled.

Seems like we will be seeing a political tug of war between China and USA over NK
NK will be torn politically then
