Kim Jong Needing Surgery?

Rumor has it that North Korean Despot Kim Jong Ill is in need of surgery to fix a heart problem.

Now with the current situation in North Korea about their nuclear program, one has to wonder about how this will effect the negotiations over shutting down the program. If Kim falls ill to the point where he can no longer be an effective leader, will his successor be as much of an opportunistic asshole like Kim was? Will the new guy be willing to be much more open about their intentions?

My best guess would be that the new leader, whenever they may come to power, will be much more willing to work with international groups because the country has suffered so much because of crushing sanctions and little to no economy to speak of. But only time will tell. Now only if Iran's leadership would have health problems we could have a much more peaceful region.
