Kim Jong Il and the North
Associated Press
FILE - In this Monday, April 15, 2013 file photo, a South Korean army soldier aims his machine gun during an anti-terrorism drill against possible terrorists' attacks at a subway station in Seoul, South Korea. In his 16 months on the job, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s government has raised fears with unusually aggressive threats against Seoul and Washington, and it’s not clear whether he will be able to pull back, a feat perfected by his late father, considered a master at brinkmanship. The mystery surrounding Kim's intentions has some outsiders predicting nightmare scenarios. (AP Photo/Ahn Young-joon, File)
