As I'm sure (and seriously hope) you are aware the leader of North Korea, the worlds biggest piece of evidence for short man syndrome, Kim Jong Ill has died of a heart attack on a train to an official visit out of Pyongyang, although I'm unaware of exactly where this was (with any luck it would have been an undertaker), and so the leadership of the worlds most dangerous nation has passed to Kim Jong Ill' 3rd son Kim Jong Un, all I really know about him is that he is "somewhere in his ate 20s" and was a general under his father.
As a general Kim Jong Un expressed more aggressive attitudes than his father so his new position of head of state could all too easily be heralding a much more dangerous time for the Pacific area. An emergency meeting was called Seoul almost as soon as the news broke.
For now the only thing to do is see how things play out, but I fear that, as a display of strength or a distraction from the political turmoil that is sure to result from this news, an act of provocation is a dangerously likely event, I hope that the transition of power in North Korea goes smoothly but urge Western leaders not to interfere in the politics of such a proud nation.
