The Foggy Road Ahead for Our Friends in North Korea

With the very recent passing of former North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, the internet has been ablaze with news media outlets rushing to find the answer to the question, "what's next for North Korea?" Due to the secrative nature of the country, few can paint a clear picture of what may lie ahead. Images of North Korean citizens mourning their, "Dear Leader" as the world tries to learn more about successor and youngest son Kim Jong Un are contrasted by the fear felt by South Koreans as they witness their neighbors to the north test-firing missiles. Although, I am in no position to make a prediction, I do hope for stability and peace on the Korean Peninsula.
