Kim Jong-Il dangerous?

Hardly. He is the "tweener" trying very hard to be invited to eat at the "grown-up's" table.

He may throw tantrums... but I would hardly consider him any more dangerous than the other 200+ leaders in the world.

I'm curious as to what their definition of dangerous is. Are they dangerous to their respective countries? Sure. The whole world? Not all of them.

True! More dangerous to his own country, and not in the world, with some exceptions.
