Kim Jong Il died and North Koreans suffer for their President

By GalaTView Staff

After years of speculation about Kim Jong Il’s declining health, North Korean television has reported that the leader has passed away. He was 69.

For South Koreans, Kim Jong Il’s sudden death drove home an unsettling disparity between them and their neighbors — a gap that could spark turmoil, if an unstable North Korea were to collapse. At this point, some in Seoul say, North and South Korea hold nothing in common but a language.

Now, nobody knows how to stay the relationship between the U.S. and North Korea if Kim Jong Il’s son would be the next President.
