The Succession Plan For Kim Jong-Il Appears To Be In Place
Back in June 2009 when it seemed that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il was terminally ill, or at the very least having suffered a stroke, speculation was that his youngest son, Kim Jong-Un, was his heir apparent. In the story The North Korean Son Rises, it seemed to the experts that by the process of elimination, Kim Jong-Un, not seen other than in an old picture, would be taking over the reins from his father. After recently being promoted to four-star general and appearing with his father at the parade celebrating the anniversary of the formation of the Workers Party, the succession plan is apparently in motion.
The question posed then was whether the future dictator was as sane, more sane or less sane than his father. The world will soon find out from this country that possesses nuclear weapons and an arsenal of missiles increasingly capable of delivering them.
