Death of Kim Jong-il special edition newspaper in Tokyo

They don’t appear very often, but with the announcement that a disruptive neighbour, unpredictable dictator and the world’s greatest ever golfer had died, it wasn’t surprising to see special edition newspapers being handed out at Tokyo stations.

    Quite shocking to hear. Everything I ever learned about world government is changing so rapidly…. I deeply hope it’s at least mostly for the better.

      Yes, it has been quite a year. Only time will give us the answer I suppose, although it’s hard to imagine any major changes in North Korea. At least in the near future.

    I hate talking bad about somebody’s death but this guy had it coming. Now his dumb ass SON is probably gonna take over which means no changes for N.Korea. I am so thankful not to be born in that country.
