    North Korean leader 'missing'

    North Korea's mercurial leader Kim Jong-il has not appeared in public for 43 days, according to South Korean monitors.

    The so-called "Dear Leader" was last seen in public on 12 February, when he visited the Russian embassy in Pyongyang.

    The secretive Mr Kim often disappears from public view. But his failure this week to attend North Korea's annual parliament session - for the first time in six years - has prompted a flurry of speculation.

    Some Korea-watchers suspect he could be holed up with top military officials, possibly at a resort in the country's north, following the war in Iraq.

    North Korea - branded by United States President George W Bush as part of the "axis of evil" - fears it could be the US' next target.

    Kim Il Jong used to disappear for months at a time himself. The entire family has long been paranoid about everything.

    Maybe he slipped in the shower and no one thought to check there.

    I was thinking... It wouldn't be easy coming up with a Kim double.

    I think Garfield was shot, and died a couple months later, but Clevland might have crapped out on the crapper, but not in the White House.

    Cleveland didn't die in office. You may be thinking of Harding...his death was kinda mysterious. Some think he was poisoned, to try to keep a lid on the various scandals in his administration.
