Guam - The president of the Korean Association of Guam is hopeful that there will be some good to come from the recent news of North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Il's death. While Il's death raises the possibility of increased instability between North and South Korea, Sang Rok Oh said the association on Guam is hoping Il's death will open new opportunities for the two countries to unify as one.

Oh stated, "North Korea should give up its nuclear program and come out of isolation and
cooperate with the rest of the world for world peace." South Korea has already put its military on high alert and has increased surveillance activity.
