The first hereditary Commie leader has died at age 69. Good riddance! But what will happen in the Korean peninsula in the aftermath of this event? Will Korea continue to be a hell-hole of a country where the people (except probably the military and the elite government officials) are so starved that they are, on average, a couple of inches shorter than their brothers and sisters in South Korea? Will North Korea continue to be a thorn in the side of its neighbors? Will China continue to tolerate, and prop up, the North Korean regime as it has for so many years?

Nothing dramatic, soon.
Yes.
Yes, even more so.
Probably.

I wonder if the Military takes over if things don't get better. They surely don't want war and see how much better things are in the South.

They will do whatever they believe will safeguard their privileged position in North Korea. Helping the common North Korean is probably the last thing they are interested in. Only if they believe that the whole thing is about to collapse, bringing them down with everyone else, will the armed forces there take action to reform the system. My guess is that they will do nothing and risk a total collapse. AzWm

You describe him as a "Commie leader" instead of understanding North Korea's political culture. You live in this fantasy world where simplistic labels actually mean something instead of figuring out the simple fact that every nation has its own political culture and within that political culture labels count for $#!+. But I suppose I'm writing out of term given that you managed to major in Romance languages and that somehow gives you an insight as how political cultures operate. And yes, Pooh, let's look at the time stamp - I have been drinking a bit but your pathetic trolls that reference that offer nothing more than your inability to offer a reasonable argument. The sad part is this - I can offer a better argument while drinking than you can offer sober - assuming you're ever sober after the pitchers of margaritas you chug after a round of golf. =Bob

Or should I just try to understand Germany's poliltical culture? Apologists for Communism are on the same moral plane as apologists for Naziism. pjmedia.com/instapundit/134073/
