The trouble with North Korea
Article Abstract:
Kim Il Sung has been declared North Korean president forever by his son, Kim Jong Il, who runs North Korea as head of the Central Defense Committee. This could hamper efforts to prevent a major crisis in North Korea which has fired a rocket and sells nuclear-capable missiles. Japan has suspended a contribution to North Korea since the rocket traveled over Japanese territory. North Korea poses a danger to neighboring countries, and the US may have to take tough action.
