As the North Koreans are finding out, the death of their 'beloved' leader is not to be the end of their woes. The leeches at the top are ensuring that. Funny to think, the 'haves' of NK are so much better off than the have nots. But even they actually have less than most of us. By keeping their own people down, they are actually keeping themselves down too. Of course, if the people realise that they could overthrow them with little or no opposition from the military, they will. The whole country is on a knife edge, a glass knife at that, one that will shatter in all directions, killing the wielders as well as the victims What will happen if it does implode? Will there be a blood bath of monstrous proportions, as all those repressed people take revenge for all their suffering? Will there be a surge of refugees fleeing over the border into South Korea? How will the South cope with them all? It will be many times worse than the re-unification of Germany. What will fill the vacuum? And what will happen to all the nuclear stuff?
Of course, it's easy for me, a comfortable, well fed, westerner to sit here and type about a place I have never been to, nor do I have any desire to go to there. I even wonder if there will be a place to go to soon.
On a happier note. Xmas is over.
