North Korean reclusive leader Kim Jong Il's health has further deteriorated, and he can no longer walk without difficulty due to worsening diabetes.  Kim Jong IL, 64, has long suffered from diabetes, kidney and liver problems and now has difficulty walking.  Kim Jong Il's first son, Jong Nam, has backing from the Chinese leadership to be North Korea's next leader.  Kim Jong-Nam was arrested on arrival in Japan in 2001 for using a forged Dominican passport.  Jong Nam is also involved in the North's missile sales.

Well hooray to the fact that Kim Jong Il may not able to run North Korea for too much longer, but look at what you got to replace him.  His son isn't exactly the best role model for this dangerous country.  As is it under Kim Jong Il's rule, he is test firing long range missiles that could potentially reach U.S. soil.  If Kim Jong Il isn't able to rule and his son takes over, not telling what this young guy will do.

North Korea is a dangerous threat and needs to be taken very seriously in my opinion.  To my knowledge, North Korea has not test fired any more missiles since a few months ago.  This is no reason to keep them off the radar and just forget about them.  I am not suggesting that we should go to war with North Korea as a pre-emptive strike, but we should have some talks with them to ensure our safety.  Maybe even consider some UN sanctions against North Korea, like we are thinking about doing with Iran, to be sure that they will not develop a nuclear bomb to send our way.  American safety, as always, should be the utmost importance, and no one can disagree with that.
