Death of a Dictator

Tears of sorrow or joy?

News footage of the North Korean people in mourning over the death of all around nice guy and dictator, Kim Jong-Il, brings to mind several points:

1. Tears of joy or sorrow? They can't believe their self-annointed god is dead. Are they happy the old goat is gone and faking it for the cameras? I imagine Big Brother there watches day and night.
2. What mad man will replace him? Give a meglomaniac a kingdom and he wants the whole world.
3. How many of the North Korean people secretly embrace the idea of democracy?
