Well well well it seems that the western media trying to play down Kim Jong Il as an ailing Old Leader has proven to be folly Kim Jong Il is immortal and more superior than Barrack Obama so I fully Praise that Russia's Minister has said He's ok because the world still needs Kim Jong Il for balance and purpose for North Korea.

I think he probably had some medical problems. Being overweight was probably one of them. He certainly looks OK to me. The way South Korea and the U.S. treated Roh Moo-Hyun who was doing very well at bringing Kim Jong-il in from the cold, makes me wonder if the North Korean President is now just being bloody minded, which I think is perfectly understandable. Just remember, North Korea fought the Americans,The British,The Australians and the Canadians all at the same time and kicked their ass. So now were all in abit of a bind. Kim Jong-il called everyones bluff, and now the war hawks have egg on their faces.
