Vietnam Talking Points

The Pulse on Vietnam

Video Monday: The Death of a Dictator

December 19, 2011 by VTP Editor Leave a Comment

Kim Jong Il is dead. Kim Jong Il, the man who used up North Korean resources to build up his coffers and nuclear weapons while many in the country perished of famine, is dead. Kim Jong Il, the man who liked to look at things, is dead.

The death of such a notorious man inevitably results in a flurry of reactions. Some say good riddance, the “dear” leader is dead. Some say be wary, his death leaves the Korean peninsula unstable and there’s no knowing what comes next. The Asian stock markets have already dipped just a few hours after the announcement of his death.  And yet there are still others who say be sad, our dear leader is dead. What do you make of North Korean citizens’ reactions to Kim Jong Il’s death?
