Former South Korean President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Kim Dae Jung died Tuesday after a month long battle with pneumonia.  Kim was 85 and after a long political career he came to be known as Korea´s Nelson Mandela.  Kim opposed his nation’s military rulers and opened the door for democratic reforms in South Korea. But he was best remembered for engaging North Korea after decades of hostility.  FSRN´s Jason Strother has more from Seoul.
