I hope he becomes the future leader of North Korea, so that different countries could look up to him in changing the world and in promoting unity between different cultures.

[Izzi Allan]

america like japan in its current place as a "spayed pet dog", according one japanese pm. and now america is hating north korea in order america could have an alibi to station its most advanced weaponry in japan, to keep japan obedient.

america stationed a christian military mission in south korea. 30-40% s.korea r xtian converts. most hate that, but they dont hate the american handouts.

to me, the century-old asia-america war has not finished yet.

Nope, he graduated from UWC a few days ago.

America is over World War II. We honestly don't care. And I've lived in America my whole life. Trust me, we hate countries like North Korea and Cuba FAR more than we hate Japan. Actually, we LIKE Japan. After World War I, America helped Japan set up their government, just like how we helped South Korea.

america hates buddhists more than communists. the most buddhist asia countries, japan and thailand, fought against america together in wwii.

read the book, meltdown by mike chinoy and u ll find:

* Kim Jong Il -- who, contrary to the conventional stereotype, is neither crazy nor irrational, and whose main goal in a strategically realigned post-Cold War world has always benn regime survival -- drew the opposite conclusion. In his view, going nuclear was the best and perhaps the only way to ensure he wouldn't share Saddam Hussein's fate.

[LosingCrayon]

Well Japan isn't communist so I don't know why you included Japan... And also South Korea was basically made by America. Also, do you seriously think that Kim Jong-il was qualified to rule North Korea?

[LosingCrayon]

Unfortunately, I think that would only be possible if Kim Jung-un doesn't have any children, and neither do any of his brothers or maybe even sisters. Too bad though, I really think this guy would be a great leader <3 Also, he's not fat and ugly xD
