Kim Jong Il

Comment Up
Using fear and isolation throughout his dictatorship, powerful leader Kim Jong Il, eternal president of North Korea, has died of a massive heart attack.

His nuclear weapons were used to threaten nearby countries as well as the U.S. He continued to build them and sell other arms to enemy nations and essentially told the world to go stick it. Under his control, North Korea became less stable and much poorer. The people were limited in everything that they could do.

"He limited their access to information, ability to travel and earn wealth. And he maintained a system of gulag-like prison camps, massive in scale and horrific in condition, to instill fear," wrote The Wall Street Journal.

This is someone who will not be missed.

  1. Did I ead that he died on a train? Are we sure it wasn't a trolley? And of course, Commissioner Maxwell was the cause of the great stress that Kim Jong Il suffered.

  2. Awwh, I detect a little sarcasm here. You think I'm picking on your hero. Let me say this, if Kim Jong Il were anywhere around Maxwell, he would get an ear full and be told off, rightfully so. He's dead now so hopefully his son will be more reasonable about wanting nuclear to blow up democratic nations.
