What If
North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il had been killed in yesterday's train accident? Who would assume power? One of Jong-il's three sons, or a military junta perhaps?
What if Kim's train was destroyed by the explosion, totally by accident, how would the North Koreans (i.e. Military) react? I fear that they would immediately assume it was an assassination, and in a worst-case scenario, lash out at S. Korea and the U.S. soldiers that are stationed just across from the DMZ, and N. Korea's 13,000 artillery cannons. However, if we take a Richard Perle perspective, maybe the N. Koreans would greet the U.S and South Korea with flowers and assist us with the reunification of Korea.
