Very possible, we are all mortal, and in a hereditary dictatorship one should ask about the children fathered by Kim Jong Il.

A google search also revealed a claim that Kim died in 2003 and they have been using body doubles ever since, after all, North Korea is almost a black hole where little leaks out.

That would be a very interesting development, I'm not sure if any replacement could keep up the cult of personality that is so central to North Korea's society.

Didnt a Chinese leader die a couple of decades ago and the Chinese communist party insisted he was alive? Their proof was him swimming in a flooded river that had torrential currents. All you saw was his head?

I wonder if the story about him having been replaced by duplicates has an element of truth to it, and they're "killing him off" . . .

See here.

What a stroke of luck! (one shortbus-to-hell ticket, please)

I rarely wish ill on someone but that might be a positive development for that country. What are the possibilities and procedures for succession? Might this improve the chances of reunification?

Luck?

I'm not so sure. He was starting to dismantle some of his nuclear enrichment facilities.

That deal may have died with him.

He was playing the West. He stopped dismantling the facility - what little was done can be put back together inside of a year - nothing serious/critical was taken down at this point.

Par for the course. Kim has manhandled the west for quite a while now. Whether the facilities can be reconstructed or not doesn't change the fact that he's now a nuclear power and therefore invulnerable to attack, all under the noses of the rest of the world and now, to prevent him making more, they give concessions. It was all so predictable.

They published a pic of Mao's head obviously choppod into the Yangtze while he was seriously ill, but he wasn't dead -- they have their standards for lies, you know. ;)

NK denies this

Look at the pic on the right, though, is that Kim? Looks either strange skin color or much younger/different than the older 66 year old we see in the pic on the bottom left :)
