Hm.... Kim Jong Il has gone missing (Just like the Swedish journalist he took captive, and the Movie Makers he kidnapped). Anyways, this is a major event, especially for the people of NK. These people have lived with out electricity and food and security and a life for nearly 60 years!!! Americans freak out if we don't have comcast for a day (Like the Brian Urlacher commersial). The downside to this is the Dear Leaders' cabinet is just as closed minded and cold war minded as he was. Therefore the appointment for the (probably) vacant spot of commander will be replaced by an neo-conservative (hm... Dick Cheney will be out of a job soon.... maybe him..?) These people deserve a modern leader, with globalization on his mind, not how to sell nuclear material. Also, in order to fix the sociological problems of this torn country, they must build a grass root economy, focusing on shutting down the black market (illegal weapons/drugs). Finally, this can hopefully only be a positive for the international community, whose holding their breath, hoping that the NK official stop their nuclear program (and be taken off the U.S's list of Terrorist organizations). What ever happens to this 3 ft 2 leader, I hope that the world takes note of their failed policies and starts fresh and interacts with this hermit nation, not sanction and run in fear............

I like your comedy about the whole situation- 3 foot 2 leader and all - but also how well you know everything. It's very impressive. I had no idea that people still live that way in North Korea. No television, no electricity. I thought that had changed. I just want to know why more countries aren't trying to help out. Isn't it the perfect time with the dictator/leader MIA?
Ya good idea Syd, the reason is that their government won't allow international support to help these people. They view that as a weakness, and to the "strong" North Korean Leaders thats committing political suicide... They did find him, he's recovering from surgery, but the International Community missed a big opportunity to help those people.
