South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak said on Friday (15 Feb) that North Korea can never be made to abandon its nuclear weapons programme, arguing that only regime collapse could remove the threat from Pyongyang. Alas! It is a fat hope for the Kim Dynasty to end so soon. Kim Jong-un is about 30 years old. Assuming that he won't meet with any fatal accident or get any deadly disease like cancer or AID, he could easily live to more than 80 years old. By then he would have outlasted many American, Chinese and Japanese leaders. Thus the next period of 50 years is no cause for optimism in Asia. It will be a period of tension and conflicts on the Korean Peninsula. We shall see him dominating and directing the events in Northeast Asia. He will be the source of headache for China, Japan and the US. Kim Jong-un http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Jong-un
