Kim Jong Ill?
Fox News is reporting that Kim Jong Il, North Korean dictator and demigod, might have suffered a stroke last month and may be "gravely ill". Some intelligence reports suggest Kim might be wheelchair-bound.
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
If Kim dies, I'm sure there'll be a major power struggle among his generals. The best thing that could happen in the long run may be anarchy, because only by means of a complete break with the Kim regime-father and son-can North Korea begin its journey back into the community of sane nations.
Many would die, but many are dying now of starvation and illness. I pray for the people of North Korea, and for the end of the Kim dynasty.
