Very interesting and illuminating observations, especially re. the
installation of family members in office and the sort of instability that
may lead to--  with historical example.  So instead of cutting off food and
trade, perhaps US policy makers should explore how to get more Kims into
the DPRK government, if the intended outcome is actually destabilization?
(Are there more Kims available?)

Or framed slightly differently, propose the <more family into office>
strategy, and use it as a check on what sorts of criteria, what areas of
information, the policy types are open to considering.  Sort of a litmus
test.  What is American foreign policy based on?

Alas, another question suggests itself.  Is American foreign policy
vis-a-vis North Korea really just a long coded message to the PRC?
