SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- Kim Jong Il, North Korea's mercurial and enigmatic leader, has died. He was 69.
Kim's death was announced Monday by state television from the North Korean capital, Pyongyang.
Kim is believed to have suffered a stroke in 2008 but appeared relatively vigorous in photos and video from recent trips to China and Russia and in numerous trips around the country carefully documented by state media.
The leader, reputed to have had a taste for cigars, cognac and gourmet cuisine, was believed to have had diabetes and heart disease.

Whaddya think guys? What are your early predictions?
China does NOT want a unified Korea right on her border?
Will they move in & take-over? Predictions?
It’s early, yes. Take a shot.
I say China eventually tries to take-over —before China’s economic lurching she’d already PLANNED for it, and now that they’re spoiling for a distraction, I’d say that goes DOUBLY so, now.

Only about 15 years of misrule compared to his dad’s 40+. Time to see what the next nut in the family tree is like, I guess.
