NVDL: Good things come to those who wait. I wonder if Bob Mugabe will volunteer for Kim's job.
SEOUL: U.S. and South Korean intelligence reports that the North Korean leader, Kim Jong Il, recently suffered a stroke raise issues that the North's neighbors have long feared. If Kim is incapacitated or dies, who will take over one of the world's most isolated and unpredictable regimes, now armed with nuclear weapons? And what will happen to a nation that has long looked on Kim as a godlike figure?
South Korean lawmakers told reporters on Wednesday after a briefing by the National Intelligence Service that Kim suffered a cerebral hemorrhage in mid-August and underwent surgery, but has recovered enough to speak and walk.
A spokeswoman for the National Intelligence Service said in an interview later Wednesday, "We have intelligence reports that after intensive treatments, his condition has considerably improved." She spoke on condition of anonymity, in keeping with agency policy.
