For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Did Kim authorize attack on S. Korean ship?
A new American intelligence analysis of a deadly torpedo attack on a South Korean warship concludes that Kim Jong-il, the ailing leader of North Korea, must have authorized the torpedo assault, according to senior American officials who cautioned that the assessment was based on their sense of the political dynamics there rather than hard evidence. The officials said they were increasingly convinced that Mr. Kim ordered the sinking of the ship, the Cheonan, to help secure the succession of his youngest son.
What gives? Wasn't the planet IMMEDIATELY going to become a more peaceful, safer place once George W. Bush was out of the White House and Barack Obama was the leader of the free world?
