#2 "In September, the communist state will hold its first meeting of senior Workers' Party delegates in 44 years, a move that observers say may be aimed at paving the ground for leader Kim Jong-il to transfer his power to his third son, Jong-un."

This may indeed be the case. However, there may be more than one aspect to this. 2010-44= 1966. 1966 was the beginning of a campaign of raids by North Korea into the DMZ and S. Korea proper, the so-called Second Korean War. One of the barriers Kim Jong Il had to overcome was his lack of military experience, in marked contrast to his father Kim Il Sung.

A successful military campaign would do much to cement Kim Jong-Un. The Christian Science Monitor published a story in May speculating that Kim Jong Un was involved in the Cheonan operation.

The party is the very army, and the army is the very party.

#4 Yes, a historic wank session and a great opportunity to talk big in front of a fawning, obsequious, international press.
