I'm not one to relish the death of another, but I'm sure not going to miss the guy, either.

He was a self-absorbed, murderous tyrant.

It's hard to believe that the people of N. Korea were crying in anguish over the death of the man that lets his own people starve to death. I wonder if they will soon wake up and realize that there is life outside the borders of their <strike>prison</strike> country and attempt to move south where there is both food and electricity.

Just like the OWS crowd, they were paid 'cryers'

Won't miss him a bit. Too bad he's just gonna be replaced by another like-minded person. Hopefully someday soon the people will figure out there is a better way.

You just gave great reasons to 'relish'........

Why are folks so afraid to celebrate?

They are calculating, in order to APPEAR crazy.

Worked fine for decades so they'll continue the game.

While it's good he is gone it's also worth noting that the 4th largest military in the world is now under the control of a 27 year old. He does like basketball and specifically Michael Jordan though.

The man who will have his pudgy finger on North Korea’s nuclear button is an overweight comic-book freak who is crazy about James Bond, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Jackie Chan movies, and who dreamed about following his hero Michael Jordan into the NBA.

It's a Ford website. It's a General Non-automotive forum. Welcome to our wonderful site! A place where we can come to vent our frustrations, talk about trucks (and cars and diesels and... you get it), and a place where like-minded guys can waste valuable work time (c'mon, I'm not the only one)!

I just want to know if he's as good at golf as his old man.
