[quote:34:MV8xMTYxMjc0XzYyRERFQzI2] WASHINGTON — In the 16 years since he assumed his father’s role as North Korea’s sole leader, Kim Jong-il has been denounced by the United States as a vicious dictator who starves his people, runs gulags, sets off nuclear tests and orders attacks on South Korean ships. But now the Obama administration is concerned that what comes next could be worse. What is coming, they fear, is Mr. Kim’s third son, Kim Jong-un, who is thought to have been the moving force behind a new wave of aggressive actions by the North and appears to be in line to succeed his father. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/14/world/asia/14policy.html?src=mv&ref=world [/quote]
