Kim Jong Il, the ailing leader of North Korea has promoted his son, Kim Jong Un to a military general. It is widely accepted that Kim Jong Un, the youngest of Kim Jong Il's children, will be the successor of his father to run North Korea. It is rumored to be the first public mention of Kim Jong Un by the North Korean media and it sets the stage that he will, in fact, succeed his father when he passes away. This is important news to the United States as well as other countries around the world because this promotion sets the stage for Kim Jong Un to become the next leader of North Korea. This is definitely a story to keep following in the weeks and months to come especially with the current leader's declining health. Surely the United States will try to find more information about Kim Jong Un to learn of the path that North Korea will head if and when he succeeds his father as leader of North Korea.
