Today, we lay a man to rest.

Today the world lays to rest a man who overlooked a country during a massive famine. During a time when millions starved to death. We lay to rest a man who chose to build nuclear weapons than feed his people. A man who lived in excess while his people suffered. We lay to rest a man who oppressed his people. Who under his rule, imprisoned his own innocent people. Today, the world can say good riddance to a man who turned his own country into a prison where millions have died. A man who chose himself and not his country. Goodbye, Kim Jong-il. Bless the people of North Korea.
