North Korean leader Kim Jong Il will probably use an upcoming meeting of party elites to introduce his heir apparent, initiating the Stalinist dictatorship's second hereditary power transfer, U.S. and South Korean experts and officials say.
The way North Korea is going, I suspect that the honor will be less than it once was. I suspect that the designation will merely target The Un as the one who will be ritually strung up by his heels from a lamp post in the city square of Pyongyang.
If Eun makes it to the top, he'll be the last of the Kim dynasty.
