Longtime North Korean leader Kim Jong Il is dead, according to South Korea's Yonhap news agency.

aye that does not sound good at all it mite start riots in that country do you know how it happen

The official cause of his death is overworked. Probably stroke or heartattack, commentators here are guessing.

Well he doesn't look coo-coo and with a hair-lip like the guy that burned the old lady to death on a NY elevator So maybe we can send him an auto-graphed basketball by Michael Jordan and stop worrying

Why is it that it is his youngest son that is taking on the role ?, is it because he has the same state of mind as his father ? I dont think there'll be much change for the better. Though our government have asked them to be more co-operative ,the vast amounts of weaponry and military might they have invested in means a lot to them. This could be the time they've been waiting for to release this force on their neighbours (apparently they are on red alert ).Lets hope this isn't the case.
Wasn't it this year north K launched an attack on South Korea?

i think your right hitmewithit it was this year but i don't why south and north korea are fighting eachother they are the same people they are just stupid they should joining forces to help eachother not destroy them selfs

Most of the North Koreans would most likely agree with you but dictators don't see things the same as you and me.

I'm not so sure about that Mog. North Korea is a very closed place. The propaganda machine is constantly feeding them lies about how the people in the capitalist world are even worse off than they themselves are.
North and South Korea were created after the Japanese empire fell apart after WW2. At the time communism was quite popular. Stalin and Mao were strong leaders and promised a bright future for all. Thats why those who belived in communism formed an own state. This led up to the Korean war 1950-53. USA and western forces supported the south and China Russia the north. This war almost ended up in a WW3 when Macharthur propagated for the use of atomic bombs in chinese territory. Luckily he was not listened to but was dismissed by president Truman.
No peace treaty was ever made between the Koreas so technically they are still at war.
