North Korea says its leader Kim Jong-il has died. That's all the info so far. What will happen now?

Edit:

"North Korean Kim Jong-il suffered a massive heart attack on a train on Saturday, the North's KCNA news agency said in a separate dispatch about his death."

Awesome.

Can't say much about it I guess, I'm not sure what it might mean for NK. Could be like Cuba when Fidel stepped down - things could lighten up, hopefully.

Well, the U.S is going to send them food aid so they will be happy for awhile, and I heard with that nuclear talks will take place supposedly. I heard that his brother in law will be the leader because his son is too young and inexperienced.

It hasn't been sudden. They've been suffering from chronic food shortages for about two decades now.

Because if we don't, it makes us 'evil' and uncaring.

Evil and uncaring is cool....and considering there exists Americans who are starving...I don't get the point of giving away food to other nations. Charity begins at home and all....

I've come to accept that Castro has been dead for 20 years and/or has been replaced by the terminator.

He seems to live forever.

I agree and it pisses me off to no end. Instead of helping these other countries, how about helping Americans. It's the same mentality so many people have in this country. They have no money to donate to American charities, but they'll empty their wallets for other countries. Drives me nuts.

If we do that, it might bring them back to the table on their nuclear program.
