With the death of Kim Jong Il, I’m beginning to wonder how many comic book bad guys there are left in the world. No Bin Laden. No Hussein. No Qaddafi. Sure, there’s still Mugabe and Ahmadinejad, but the point was pretty well established when a friend had to add to the mix, “Oh yeah, there’s also that one Syrian guy.”
Frankly, I think the only true villain we’ve got left might be Putin.
