Last week North Korean leader Kim Jong-il died and yesterday the half-god was buried. It is amazing to see how the world thinks his passing is a good thing for North Korea and his people, but the people of North Korea view his passing as the worst thing ever. Hundreds of thousands joined the funeral ceremony, crying and screaming. To me it looks like a very fine line between fear and love.
