Quote:
North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has died at the age of 69, state-run television has announced.
His death was announced in an emotional statement read out on national television.
The announcer, wearing black, said he had died on Saturday of physical and mental over-work.
I wonder how his son will do as his successor. If the party lets him succeed that is.
everyone is so excited and happy on other sites and i am thinking "are you crazy?" nothing will change.i feel it will get worse even now with his equally crazy son at the helm... *ducks under desk*
whate a *does a little happy dance*
holy moly.
all the world needs right now is more instability in yet another region...
Yep, not sad at this news; Kim Jong-un is probably not ready to lead, military will probably be at the helm.Quote:

Interested to see what this brings for North Korea, discussed this today in History, and most likely in Civics today as well.
Great.
A nuclear power in the hands of a radical, spoiled, militant, egotistical 27 year old!
Time for our foil hats again.
I fear problems may worsen now. I hope not but who knows, everything is so uncertain these days. I was really shocked when they announced this last night on the news. He had a massive heart attack.
Uh-oh.

Wonderful, I'm old enough to be the mother of a world leader....:lolsign:Quote:
