An interesting article. And while it is a shame that so many people have been shunted back into poverty by his action, I see a silver lining in that Kim Jong Il feels threatened by the free markets appearing in his country. It's a sign that it could lead to his downfall, brought down by the people, without the need for foreign intervention.
