Kim Jong-il Scratches Meeting Due to Poor Health

North Korean leader Kim Jong-il reportedly cancelled a meeting with Indonesian officials two weeks ago because of his failing health conditions.

Quoting an Indonesian official, Japan's Jiji news agency reported on Sunday that a delegation including former president Megawati Sukarnoputri visited Pyongyang from Sept. 12 to 16.

But the Indonesian official said the meeting was cancelled due to the North Korean leader's health condition, without any explanation or details provided. The official added that such cancellations happen rarely.

I’m guessing he’s still recovering from the “tribute” at the end of the Simpsons’ episode last night.

Good morning....just wanted to follow up on something we discussed a while back....the near complete disappearance of the son, the presumptive heir, from the public eye and the news..seems even odder if these reports of Chia-head's failing health are true.

Could be that no one wants the kid, or even the regime..to continue..maybe it all implodes peacefully after his death...If the top 500 or so in power in NK have the sense that the regime can't sustain itself...maybe they'll opt for a quiet end..rather than open rebellion..they may NOT trust the army to put down civilian unrest..because of the large, and close, extended families in the Korean culture..every NK soldier may know fairly closely 10-15 civilians..do the multiplication.. ..and it becomes daunting for the DNK regime.
