Kim Jong's Ill

Kim Jong Il, current dictator of North Korea, and who is right now suffering from Pancreatic cancer, is a man with many, many problems.
First of all, it's not huge in population, it has about 22 million people, meaning that it has about five million more people than the largest city in it's current rival, South Korea.
There was once just one Korea, but then, there was the Korean War.
They say that around the time when the Korean war started, the new and green Cold War suddenly turned up a notch, and went up to a bloody, explosive war that is the Cold War.
The Korean war started with a sudden invasion of what is now South Korea from North Korea.
North Korea wanted it's own government, the people in North Korea decided that the idea of communism was a better idea than the Korean Democracy.
And the U.S. sided with South Korea, which means that now, North Korea hates us.
But, if that were today, the North Korean people would almost definitely go with South Korea.
Right now, in North Korea, people cannot go over the border to South Korea, or they would be killed.
In fact, the people in North Korea cannot leave any country that is not an ally of North Korea, the only countries that aren't enemies of North Korea are Russia, China, or maybe Cuba.
Two of those four countries listed there are the only two countries that people in the U.S.A. can not go to.
Kim Jong Il is pretty much the dictator of dictators of this generation. (Yes, I know. Even bigger than Obama) He has cut off his country from the rest of the world, North Korea now has way more enemies than they have allies, and he lets his country live in poverty while he spends the countries money on himself, the military, (there, mostly nuclear missiles), and tourist attraction (when he does let people into his country, he puts on huge celebration, in order to possibly get more residents).
About two years ago, the New York Philharmonic Orchestra played a concert in North Korea, where they were greeted by a warm audience.
That may have been more than just a concert, that may have been one of the best opportunities in the history of the U.S.-North Korean rivalry for making up.
It could very strongly benefit for our making up.
In the end, Kim Jong Il needs to be de-throned.
