#15 Paul Roderick Gregory, Hoover Inst. "We have the experience of some thirty regime changes in the aftermath of the fall of communism and the collapse of Yugoslavia. Few have occurred without the direct or tacit support of the ruling elite.
... The Hermit Kingdom’s elite likely thinks in a similar way. A capitalist North Korea would be materially more rewarding than their measly handouts from Macao banks and their rickety ZiL limos. The inner circle might be willing nascent liberals and capitalists, but they are held back by the Great Leader’s penchant to kill off members of his inner circle on the slightest suspicion of disloyalty. If they were somehow relieved of this fear, I am confident in which way they will turn."

#18 Y'know, it doesn't make the international news when the mayor of Harbin has a heart attack. Why should it if it's the mayor of Pyongyang?
