This is frightening!

No, not the video for Lady Gaga's Paparazzi (which, is scary and should be discussed.) music video.

But... someone my age has been leader of North Korea! I can't believe that Kim Jong-il has
named his youngest son, Kim Jong-un, to be his successor. This young kid will now be in control of a nuclear arsenal of missiles. That is just frightening. Can you imagine this kid getting drunk and shooting off a missile for fun? I can't even cook rice when I am drunk.

Little is known about Kim Jong-un, like his age. Supposedly, he was born in 1983 or 1984. I wonder if he is well educated? What are the requirements to become the next great leader of North Korea? Also, what will Kim Jong-un's older brothers think? This might not be a good transfer of powers, esp. when "a society that values seniority his youth could be a problem."

I pray that this young man is smart, rational, and has good judgement. Scary stuff.
