Regardless of what anyone says, being "happy" that Kim Jong-il is dead is silly as hell. I'd also agree with Thoren. Bad as things are in NK, the US's history of foreign relations, and even things in this country are just as bad, and perhaps in many ways worse, than the NK regime. That isn't to make light of what is happening in NK, but I think so many people approach the NK/SK issue with the wrong mentality.
