Kim Jong-il.

I could say, in the words of Donne, that 'any man's death diminishes me' - but there is always the exception to prove the rule.

I could also say that even this wicked tyrant might have repented at the last  - but I simply cannot believe that!

This is one murderous despot that the world really can learn to manage to do without.

(I shall not even be wearing a black armband.)
