Had to break up link, just erase the space in it.

I mean, you know the saying, murderers come in all shapes and sizes, but still, it's a little unnerving to me to read about his childhood. He seemed friendly, hung out with kids at a house and played with them, shot some hoops, etc. Then he goes back to lead North Korea as a ruthless dictator. I mean, I understand a lot of it probably is just the North Korean machine. Like, even if he was the nicest guy on the planet, I doubt you could really enact good change there as there are a lot of those in the upper-ranks that probably have enough sway to make it impossible for that to happen. Still, it's strange to see it; it's not like his life was one of tragedy. He got to see various cultures of the world and reportedly even grew to admire some of them, yet he opposes them completely as the leader of North Korea.
