Kim Jong Il
the longtime leader of North
Korea had died at the age of 69. One issue
is how will this event affect the Presidential race for 2012? Who stands to
come out of this with a stronger or weaker hand?
One school of
thought is this will act as a cold reality check and bring people back to a
reality of a world full of potential dangers and uncertainty. Serious
candidates should benefit with a sudden shift of focus to how complex the world
we live is and what it takes to navigate global political waters.
Those prone to
casually throw around threats of invading and bombing other nations may find
themselves walking very lightly in the short term. Until a sense of stability
returns to North Korea
it would be wise for tough talking politicians to practice some restraint. This
could be the opening that serious individuals need to break through the noise.
President Barack
Obama has shown his foreign policy credentials with decisive actions that are
hard to deny and Republicans now have to show some weight in that even now more
critical arena.
