2. Trading nuclear weapons
Maximilian Teusch ,   FL   (12.19.11)
Nordkorea, together with Pakistan, has been trading nuclear know-how and materials. Iran and Syria where main customers. Under the supervision of ElBaradey.
3. I shall miss his hair. May it rest in peace.
Devorah   (12.19.11)
4. #1 What?
Aaron ,   Jerusalem   (12.19.11)
He gained power in 1994...Its not like he committed genocide or anything, he was communist and his people loved him. Politically, he opened dialogue with his neighbors more than any of the earlier leaders did. You can hate him for his political prisoners and oppression of information, but hey, North Korea is not America, at least he wasn't shooting them all like in Syria. Western brainwashing gone too far.
5. #4:Exactly!! He was only a wee-bit pregnant.....

Aaron ,   Jerusalem   (12.19.11)
His father's failed policies started the process. His Military priority was only kept by Il, not created by him. Even then, most military members also suffered of famine. Nearly all food reserves were completely destroyed and since then they have had to rely on imports... Is it his fault that massive flooding in '95 completely destroyed all infrastructure and crops? One of his more recent policies was to send people living in the cities to help farmers raise their crops. During Il's reign he increased food production by two times...hardly looks like he was purposefully starving anyone.
10. Bolshevism
zivron   (12.19.11)
The world has had many tradgedies we need rule bolshevism as a misadventure of catastrophic proportions a flawed evolutionary maladaption caused by rapacious autocracies and exploitations

cacker.
12. To: No. 4
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.19.11)
Oh, really? How about the eight million North Koreans that died in famine while he ate gourmet multiple course meals and kicked back with a cigar and a brandy? There are worse ways to die than being shot. Being shot is relatively merciful and quick. Dying of starvation is neither merciful nor quick. You are a complete imbecile.
13. You know who to blame?
Robert ,   Australia   (12.19.11)
After a thawing of relations between N. Korea, Japan and the west George W. Bush came on the scene and ruined it all. Just one of his many failures.
14. #12
Aaron ,   Jerusalem   (12.19.11)
Like I already posting, massive floods destroyed the entire country of its infrastructure...Do you think the US president would join the civilians in famine if he could get food and they couldn't? I doubt it. What? Do you think HE kept food from the people? Read all the comments.
15. #13: Robert" You don't blame Israel?
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (12.19.11)
WOW! You're slipping!

18. To: No. 9
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.19.11)
Do I have this right? Are you seriously advocating the forced relocation of North Koreans to help raise [failed] crops? The Nazis did that -- it is called slave labor. The United States sinks over twenty million metric tons of wheat just to maintain price supports and farm subsidies in order not to cause a precipitous drop in the price of wheat. Had Kim Jong Il asked the United States for help, eight million North Koreans might not have died. We would have GIVEN them the wheat, just as we gave the Soviet Union wheat at a time when it was our most implacable foe. Yes, he purposefully starved a lot of innocent civilians and no, I assure you that the North Korean army was very well fed. He also maintained around twelve extremely lavish homes and had a large staff of extremely well-compensated whores in each of those residences. While ordinary North Koreans died and went blind because of the complete lack of even the most rudimentary medical care. That you defend such a monster speaks volumes about you, nothing of it good.
19. The Picture Tells All!

My immediate thought as well. When I clicked on robert's post I was sure I would see "Israel". A glimmer of hope...? Nahhh.

solomon ,   bklyn   (12.19.11)
Although there is disagreement and the truth might well lie somewhere within the middle, I appreciate the different point of view.

28. Like all atheists who die, he now knows there is a HaShem.
Rivkah   (12.19.11)
Too late for him! His soul is in hell, now.
29. Aaron # 4 Are you kidding?
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (12.19.11)
He shot people trying to leave his country. If he was smart he would have encouraged them to leave and send home money and food and he would have had less mouths to feed. It works great for Mexico. The guy was an idiot. If his people loved him why did so many die trying to escape? Explain that Mr. Western Brainwashing gone to far.
30. So evil only hitler, stalin and obumma could love him.
