It's the Kims during happier times! The chubby little boy on the couch is going to be the third generation of "Dear Leader"

Kim Jong-Il needs sophisticated medical equipment to treat his deteriorating condition. It is supposedly related to a stroke. Unfortunately for the Dear Leader, this sophisticated medical equipment can also be used to make nuclear weapons and, thus, it is prevented from being sold to North Korea or to anyone that would sell it to North Korea. North Korean officials are currently trying to get it through China. Ironically, Kim caused his own problem when he went ahead with a nuclear weapons test in 2006 which prompted the United Nations, led by the United States, to institute the embargo. So, should we allow him to get the medical equipment or make him suffer by withholding it?

He makes his people eat grass... I think he should be denied anything and everything we can deny him. We can't kill him but we can make his life a whole lot more painful.

Let me guess, only 200,000 centrifuges can save him?

Yeah.

Let's bring him to US in a private jet and install him on one of our finest hospitals, take care of him, treat him, heal him, give him a grandiose sightseeing tour, and then fly him back - so he can continue his treat to bomb who ever is on his list this week.

SARCASM!

You people are whistling Dixie for someone who is already dead! Why can't you see that this is the truth? Have you noticed that all of the picutes posted on the net always state " UNDATED" and the majority of them come from the same frigging news source !

    Well if he's not willing to further his country along with this type of science, and its denied to his people then it should be denied to him.

    Well, if he isn't dead yet, I say treat him like a malignant tumor - GET RID OF (HIM) IT! What do I know, I am on 3 cups of Italian coffee, just in case North Korea reads this.

    I heard somewhere that everyone over a certain age could not get food anymore, isn't he way over a certain age, if that's true then he should stop eating too.

    Big 10 yes! He has caused suffering, death, torture, and brainwashing by the millions. This guy dosen't deserve to be alive.

    I voted "Screw him...I hope it's long and painful". Alive, dead, or somewhere in between, I'd not lift a finger to help him or his family - not after all of the suffering and misery they drop on the heads of every generation of North Koreans before and after the third incarnation (you know, that "chubby kid on the couch") of Daddy Dearest.

    If he is dead, having his son in power will be as bad if not worse.

    I don't know but it seems to me that even in death, his ego would demand a country-funded parade in his honor. You know, the type of parade where all the soldiers in their different colored uniforms are marching and then you see all the artillery and lastly, the missiles coming at the end. Great fun!

    But, no, I wouldn't help him.

    What exactly is the "medical equipment" he needs? It can't be worth more than the lives of Euna Lee and Laura Ling. Sounds like a bargaining chip.

    We're supposed to feel sorry for a guy who can build a nuclear weapon but can't get a dialysis machine (or whatever it is)? I just worry that his son is gonna make Kim look like Miss. Congeniality. Get the ladies out of there.

      I would say, "sure, you can have the machine that goes 'ping', just as soon as you have free and open elections for the next DL."

      The chutzbah of this maniac never ceases to amaze me. As does the complete soullessness of those close enough to him to take care of the problem and haven't yet done so.
