While this might be a good warning, does anyone really believe that it will have any effect on Kim? The man is obviously insane and seems to be begging for someone to wage war on his country. There is no way possible to reason with someone so irrational. It is a sad reflection on the people of North Korea that there is not a single person with enough courage to get rid of him.

"It is a sad reflection on the people of North Korea that there is not a single person with enough courage to get rid of him."

1) it is nearly impossible to unseat an established dictator. with multiple secret police agencies, etc., that country is arguably the most repressive state on earth. It isn't like anyone not thoroughly vetted over years and years gets close to the guy. Do you think you could make a difference if you lived in DPRK?

2) there are reports out of china detailing a few DPRK military insurrections over the last 8 years or so, though none were successful. IF even one had not been quickly suppressed, he might not be in power today.

3) the train explosion a while back may have been an assassination attempt.
