Kim Jong-il Paralyzed ... Still Conscious
Had a stroke a few weeks ago... government in all-out efforts to find out the situation
N. Korean leader Kim Jong-il had a stroke and are suffering from paralysis, a credible U.S. diplomatic source on N. Korea conveyed on Sept. 9. He said, "Kim had a stroke a few weeks ago and was paralyzed(hemiplegia?) but he is still conscious. It is not clear how alert he is or where he is being treated."

More from another article on the same newspaper:

According to U.S. sources, U.S. intelligence is trying to verify information that a few world-renowned experts on stroke visited N. Korea. The time of their visit is said to be after late August. They have pretty good idea of who they are.

An honest prayer for his soul - while he still has a chance of thinking about his soul.
(If he still has one.)

North Korea: about the middle of the last century some Koreans read Orwell’s `1984’ and said, “Hey, we can make this work!”

He may have any number of children. They seem to show up in pachinko parlors in Tokyo from time to time.
To: Ramius
Yes he does have kids.
At least I know of one son.
The son likes to travel around the globe a la Clinton and party.

Well, even after Kim Jong Il, Mugabe, Castro and others of their kinds are dead and buried, I am sure there are plenty waiting in the chute to take their places. Seems to be no shortage on earth of despots, dictators, and other evildoers.

Thanks... didn't know that.
Also found this:
[...] Kim Jong-il is believed to have fathered three children – Kim Sul Song, Kim Jong Nam and Kim Jong Chul – each of whom has a different mother.
