Who was worse: Kim Il-Sung or Kim Jong-Il?

Who cares, it's testicular cancer either way.

All left wing liberal fascists are bad. Admittedly some were worse, like Mao and Stalin, but the degree of evil is hard to quantify. Mao's got them all beat.

He murdered about 20 million by starving them to death.

Kim Jong Il was worse. Kim Il Sung at least had pretenses of creating a nation that would serve its people, even if it didn't. In fact, some have argued that our ally at the time of the creation of the two states, Syngman Rhee was as ruthless as Kim Il Sung.

Kim Jong Il kidnapped Japanese sushi chefs and Russian "models" to satisfy his own voracious appetites. Neither was a good leader, and the world will be glad to be rid of them, but the children of absolute rulers are always worse than the original rulers themselves because they don't concern themselves with the well-being of anyone but themselves.

Lived and worked in South Korea for almost three years.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
