News CLICKYI just hope his son will show a more caring attitude to his people, but I doubt it.

The son that he hand picked (and has presumably been giving instructions to)? I suspect the people of North Korea will be seeing more of the same or perhaps even worse.

Indeed. Considering that the neighbouring Nations have gone on high alert doesn't bode well. Hopefully he won't try and make too big a mark to initiate his 'Presidency'.

I suspect it will depend on how well and how quickly he can consolidate control of the military. I seem to recall Une (spelling?) was made a General by his father relatively recently (last two years or so) so he's relatively new 'in post' as a General. Still, if I was South Korean I would be rather twitchy at the moment.

Wherever he has gone to, he won't be so ronery now.

Kin Jong-Il was in charge, but what I'm actually expecting now is for his gormless looking son to be a puppet leader for the communist military government. He'll be their poster boy while they make the decisions. So I'm expecting more missile tests, more attacks on foreign ships and more secret nuke development.

I have to agree that he may have trouble keeping or using any power in reality. Whether that's a good or bad thing we have yet to see. There are reformists quietly lurking, apparently (how can you really tell?). The mood of the public isn't what it was going by some of those speaking who managed to leave NK. One of those said I saw interviewed said that people either pinch themselves or laugh in order to create fake tears. I just hope things get better for the North Koreans, they've been starving to death for far too long.

According to North Korean press, Kim Jong Il has entered a sleeping contest...
