Kim Jong Un 2013

Just to get to the top of the hardest cruellest system on earth (apart from Saudi Arabia) and be 29 and ready to take on the world, that's some kind of person for sure.

To be the least likely son, and then to come through...wow.I don't have to like him, but he has survived a lot of assassinations at ages when you and I were just catching the bus to school worried about the brown paper on our exercise books, to get to where he is now.

You don't have to like him to appreciate that he is someone worthy of confronting. He knows the game of war and peace every day of his life, and he's survived and come to the top, and he intends to be there til he's 80, and I reckon he's got a 70% chance of doing so.

I think that like many things we don't like in the world...Christians...Buddhists...car salesmen...hard to open soft drinks...when the dog runs off with the TV remote control and buries it in the yard... etc etc we'll just have to get used to Kim Jong Un being here with us, and being really annoying, as we are to him. Let us see who is smarter and who survives longer.
