Kim Jong-il was born in an army camp near Khabarovsk in the Soviet Union, where his father, KimIl-sung, was an important figure among Korean Communist exiles.
Kim was three years old when World War II ended and Kim Il-sung returnedto Korea to take charge of the Communist apparatus in Pyongyang, in theSoviet-occupied northern half of Korea.
Kim's relationship with the United States has been equally difficult.During the Clinton administration, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright visited Pyongyang in 2000, and extracted a promise from Kim that the DPRK would not pursue its nuclear weapons program if the U.S. wouldagree to pay for a nuclear energy facility for the DPRK.

 Stub it out, Kim Jong-Il tells Koreans - Tranceaddict Forums
Reports in the South Korean media said Kim recently singled out smokers as one of the "three main fools of the 21st century"(funny that he should make mention of fools), along with those who are ignorant about computers and music.
Kim's Napoleonic complex however keeps him from realizing that in giving up the weapons the U.S. has no rationale to attack, besides Japan, China and certainly South Korea wouldn't care for any of that.
Now normally I wouldn't wish death on someone being that it is plain disgusting but when it comes to Kimie boy he should have continued on his path of ill health, the world would be on its way to being a bit better with one less tyranical, mercurial maniacal scum.

 Where Kim's Portrait Hung in Pyongyang, a Baffling Blankness | The Agonist
In a country where the cult of the Kim family is a primary binding force, people have been sent to prison for failing to dust a portrait of their leader or for allowing ink drops to blot his image in a newspaper.
Kim specifically ordered Chongryon (the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan) to remove his portraits from North Korean schools in Japan in order to win more pro-North Korea supporters from ethnic Koreans, to make them future Chongryon members and encourage them to enroll their children in Chongryon-affiliated schools.

Kim IlSung and now son Kim JongIl have been engaged in unification of Korea under their brand of terror regime.
History of Kim IlSung and now Kim JongIl's terror campaign against South Korea is well known - just suffice to pick up a reasonably written Korean history or contemporary issue book that covers 1945 to present years.
Kim IlSung started the war (for which Americans came to defend their geopolitical interest), and ever since North Korea has adopted U.S.A as their official enemy - not even Vietnamese do that.

 Pacific Affairs: Democratization in South Korea and inter-Korean relations   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Unfortunately, Kim has failed to achieve bipartisan consensus for his policy approach toward the North.
Kim's opponents were already attacking his "Sunshine Policy" early on as one of overgenerous appeasement, arguing that it had accomplished little, aside from wasting South Korean taxpayers' money by unilaterally giving aid to North Korea and offering to build infrastructure projects in that country.
With the political ascendance of intellectuals, student groups, labour organizations and other torchbearers of Korean nationalist activism, and the induction of civil society activists into the Kim Young Sam government and subsequent administrations, perhaps the trend of decreasing antagonism in inter-Korean relations is to be expected.

However opinion is divided, with other specialists arguing that the removal of Kim Jong-il's portraits from public buildings in Pyongyang and the continuing exodus of defectors does not signify a loosening grip on power by the North Korean leader.
Their fear is that any mention of the 200,000 political prisoners in forced labor camps, the suppression of the population's civil and political freedoms or the punishment meted out to those who try to flee the country would antagonize the North Korean government and jeopardize chances for a nuclear agreement.

According to the newspaper Chosun, the lawmaker, Kim, Hong-shin and some 20 ruling and opposition party lawmakers submitted a reform bill to the livestock processing control law to the National Assembly, requesting the legalization of the distribution of dog, bringing back the dog meat debate and strong protests from dog lovers.
Kim said that he was pushing for the change since the exclusion led to unsanitary treatment of the meat.
Also in a letter to the French actress and animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot who is openly critical of the consumption of meat from dogs, Kim said that he would initiate an international debate on the culture of eating meat from dogs.

Kim Il Sung has been able to perpetuate the personality cult only by monopolizing all sources of information and convincing the masses that they live in paradise.
The introduction of Japanese money and industry will greatly undermine this farce at a time when the North Korean leadership is attempting to complete the difficult transition to the weak and erratic Kim Jongil.
In short, North Korea's plan to seek diplomatic relations with Japan indicates that Kim Il Sung has finally decided to take his largest risk since the Korean War; he is trying to open up his country to salvage the economy, while hoping that economic cooperation will not seriously undermine his regime.

The author also explains Kim's motivations for invading South Korea in 1950, an action driven by ideology and nationalism, but also because of the complementary nature of the mountainous North's mineral resources and industrial base with the South's agricultural productivity.
