Now, as a Korean, I find this appalling that this nation still exists in this day in age and that it is allowed to continue to oppress my blood brethren. But, I won't go into that as I don't have the time to do so.
As can be seen in the article, Kim Jong Il is missing from the ceremonies (which rarely happens) and it is presumed that he has suffered from a stroke. Well, I hope that is the case and that Kim Jong Il won't have a stretched out regime like Fidel Castro did.
