Is Kim Jong-Ill?

[KarlXII]

We could compare this to Castro, in a way. Once this becomes confirmed by N. Korean and other sources, Kim will appoint a successor and life goes on....

[KrooK]

Its quite possible
Have you seen "Equilibrum". Noth Korea is very similar to that movie.

[Meneldil]

Call me crazy, but actually, I think N. Korea is more similar to USSR under Stalin's rule than to a half-arsed Sci-fi movie were people fight using Katana and Jedi-like superpower.


Btw, the thread title makes me laugh each time I read it.

Depends. It's not just a matter of appointing successor. That successor has to have intelligence, strong personality and charisma. All dictatorships are based somewhat on a cult of personality. If the person is not good enough, there is a decent chance he or she won't be able to control everything...
