The report in part cited Daily NK, an online newspaper based in South Korea, which reported on Monday that Kim had undergone a cardiovascular surgical procedure on April 12 at Hyangsan Hospital in North Pyongan Province. The facility is exclusively for the use of the Kim family.There are conflicting reports, and you can click on whatever link catches your eye. For myself, the idea of a tyrant dying from old age is particularly troubling. Better that tyrants should suffer their fate at the hands of their victims. I consider Mussolini as the proper example of a tyrants death.

Watching L'il Kim
We're seeing reports that North Korean tyrant Kim Jong Un is faring poorly. Evidently he had heart surgery that didn't go exactly to plan.

Assuming the reports are true, and there's a lot of question about that, the problem with tyrants dying young is they're always replaced by another tyrant. When Lenin died he was replaced by Stalin, who was replaced by Khrushchev, etc. So even though it's fun to watch tyrants die, the actual result to the suffering citizens is: no difference.
Kim, it looks like, would be replaced by his sister, who is certainly no George Washington. Sometimes it's better to stay with the devil you know than to get a new devil and start all over trying to deal with him.
Yeah, tyrant's who caused their people misery should go out like Gaddafi. Not a sterile trial, followed by appeals then sentencing. A sticky end in the street, surrounded by people who hate you and just want to see you dead for the misery you caused. So that the next ruler gets a lesson on how things can go for them.
