    This might be a time to "strike while the iron is hot". Regime change has worked so well for us before.
    I type this hoping it looks ridiculous enough on the screen that no one in the pentagon is seriously thinking this (but you know they are anyway).

    I doubt that one has much to do with the other. NK has mastered carrot and stick diplomacy, and by promising to soften their stance on nuclear weapons, they can make a deal for food now and do what they want later. My guess is that this progress hasn't happened in the last 3 days, which is when Jong-il died.

    Didn't his son take his place a few months back? He might be just as insane as his father.

    No, his son was named as the heir apparent. That's probably what you're thinking.

    The son (who's name escapes me and I'm too lazy to look up) is at least partially Western-educated, so he might be more predictable than Daddy.

    Good riddance.

    The world becomes a slightly better place whenever one of these people leave it.

    The discussions were as recent as the end of last week, and the deal is supposed to be announced today.

    I would guess that the North Koreans had to know then that he was on his death bed. I'd also have to believe that somehow the US government would also know that. If not from informants (US or S. Korean), I'd think the NKs would have at least hinted at it so that when it happened they wouldn't be accused of negotiating in bad faith. But that's just theory on my part.

    Well that would take him off the list of targets for a Team America: World Police sequel. Unless it was some kind of zombie theme which would open up all kinds of possibilities.

    I was looking for a different documentary on NK when I ran across this. A very eerie spooky place. Kim Jong Il's old man may have been even a bigger nut job.

    Or nothing changes. Or they get worse. We'll have to wait and see, won't we?

    After all, Kim Jong-il took over from his own daddy when he died in 1994. Did that improve things for North Korea? (I honestly don't know, but does it matter?)

    Daddy's still the President/leader of PRNK. Seriously.

    The real question is what happened to his hair. I'm pretty sure it was some kind of seperate life-form living on top of his head.

    They sure do know how to keep order. No graffiti, no traffic jams, no street crime, no litter...why can't we have an oppressive dictator? Oh, yeah. Freedom, happiness, a life worth living, etc.

    I also prefer eating food and wearing clothes made from real fabric, not Vinalon.
