Re: Kim Jong Il - dead

So far everyone is seems to be assuming Kim Jong Il died on his own natural causes (his diabetes and heart disease), and that now a power struggle might erupt to see who succeeds him.

Alternate possibility: Old Kim was in poor health, weak; power struggle occurred and new leader is decided; Kim Jong Il's death of natural causes -- with a little nudge -- is the last step. This is a not-unknown succession strategy in these kinds of regimes... ;-)

Further wild but plausible speculation: New leader may or may not be the son; he may be a figurehead for public consumption after he cut a deal to not immediately occupy the grave next to his father. :evil2:
