Default Kim Jong-il dies
Been thought that he's in bad health for a while now but still.. wow!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-16239693

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.

The BBC's Lucy Williamson in Seoul says his death will cause huge shock waves across North Korea.

Kim Jong-il has been the leader of the impoverished communist country since the death of his father Kim Il-sung in 1994.

He suffered a stroke in 2008 and was absent from public view for several months.

His designated successor is believed to be his third son, Kim Jong-woon, who is thought to be in his late 20s.
But the real good news here, is that I had him on my death list

Don't know much about the politics in that country, will it basically stay the same with a different guy? Secretive and communism?

Don't think anybody really knows what it's like there really It probably will, I think his supposed successor, his son, was educated in the West so that might have made him more democratic and less of a dictator but then he was pictured with his Dad clapping along to the huge military parade so he'll probably be pretty much the same

I think that a lot of people who live in the Capital really do think like that, they're brought up to believe he's some great being and he's technically still the leader of NK because they made him "eternal president" when he died nearly 20 years ago

Hopefully this means that North Korea will be more of a democracy.

Makes me laugh how underneath the BBC article it says:

Are you in North Korea? Please send us your comments using the form below.

Somehow I don't think that's very likely
