Kim Jong-Il has cancer.

GOOD

As Nate explained in a different thread, the heir to the throne is probably even crazier than KJI. Luckily, the US still hasn't used its assasination card yet. They just need to play the waiting game.

The CIA or British MI5 both could have had Kim gone a long time ago if they'd wanted.

They have a blow dart that contains a toxin which kills quickly and makes the death look as if it was natural causes. Boom, gone.

It's all just a sham.

Were they toying around with nuclear weapons then, or were they just another crackpot communist dictatorship?

Nah, Kim is truly a crackpot, but he's deluded in his visions of ultimate power and grandeur-- he doesn't know what he's truly a part of. All the uneasiness this creates only plays into the larger picture by keeping people scared and separate. Folks are easier to control this way.

It's unlikely that he has close to the amount of nuclear power he claims.

This could be interesting.

I've got Hitler's assassination card. It's a Jack of Hearts with a hitler tache.
