Apparently, North Korean leader, Kim Jong Ill is dead. There's speculation on who is successor will be but no one has been announced yet. The New York Times has a pretty extensive article on Kim Jong Ill. I never knew that much about him or his nuclear program. Or that he's the middle of three male siblings. The article wasn't very clear on how he ended up ruling after his father.
I've heard that his son is worse than he is, living a very lavish lifestyle and what not. Let's hope that he doesn't create as much of a stir or someone that can bring North Korea back to world table takes the reigns. Otherwise, the US might be heading into another war... Hell knowing the US, we might just provoke whoever lead North Korea into another war via threats of weapons of mass destruction.
