My hope for reunification appears to have been wishful thinking with this group of bad dudes. Even if the young un's decent, he has no chance. His ace, for now, is the support of the people.

How do people like this think? NK, Iran, the Axis of Evil is just that. I guess history is littered with the likes of those on power trips, who put power and/or nukes ahead the plight of their starving citizens.

North Korea's military to share power with Kim's heir

BEIJING (Reuters) - North Korea will shift to collective rule from a strongman dictatorship after last week's death of Kim Jong-il, although his untested young son will be at the head of the ruling coterie, a source with close ties to Pyongyang and Beijing said.

The source added that the military, which is trying to develop a nuclear arsenal, has pledged allegiance to the untested Kim Jong-un, who takes over the family dynasty that has ruled North Korea since it was founded after World War Two.
