    Hmm. Guess this means his son will be taking the reins.

    It's really a shame... I mean, he was so easy to caricature :'(

    Which is a gamble, as in some ways Kim Jong-un is more of a radical than his father. It's definitely going to need to warrant some focused interest.

    Also, when an oppressive leader dies, it can often lead to a revolution against the new establishment.

    I've only read/heard very little about his son, but what I have come across seems to agree with your take.

    Wish I knew more about the situation there to draw a bead on the likelihood of a 'Korean Spring'.

    AndrewTheAndroid A hero for fun.

    I may have some responsibility in this. I was talking to a Korean woman just yesterday, and suggested to her that because she is a long distance runner, that she could make it into N Korea and kill him. I didn't think that she would go through with it.
