Killing Kim

Considering how often the North tried to knock off Southern leaders I doubt they would be a pariah nation if they succeeded.

That's what I'm thinking. It is Kim Jong Il, after all. It's not like they were knocking off John Paul II. I don't think Kim's got a whole crapload of fans.

I don't predict a horrible amount of backlash for the South if word gets out, maybe a censure from the the UN and some economic sanctions from China. US politicians will outwardly condemn it.
 
The WP will have a propaganda field day ( brutal capitalist running dogs slay glorious revolutionary leader), the free world will shake its head and tell the S. Koreans not be be naughty, and nothing major will change. Except that in 1990 N.Korea will either follow China and Vietnam down the semi-capitalist model or collapse like E.Germany.

You mean it would be louder than dozens of failed but very real attempts by CIA to assasinate Castro, for example? I'm not sure.

While running to them for advice.

China started much earlier. And E. Germany didn't collapse. You need to go to Tajikistan for an example of collapse, but Korea isn't Tajikistan...
