Kim Jong-il, North Korea
Vitals:- 65 years old.
- North Korea's "Dear Leader" since 1997.
- Portly and very short, with platform shoes and a bouffant hairdo to add height.
- A reclusive with a history of hedonistic indulgences, including forcibly recruiting women to serve in private "pleasure brigades."
- According to former CIA psychologist Jerrold Post, a "malignant narcissist" who "can't really empathize with the pain and suffering of others." Seemingly indifferent to three million deaths from starvation during a decade-long (and ongoing) famine, caused largely by his disastrous control of North Korea's economy.
- Has turned North Korea into the third-largest exporter of opium and heroin and a major methamphetamine trafficker.
- Promotes big-time counterfeiting business, including a flood of bogus $100 bills (in collusion with Iran) so expertly produced that the U.S. Treasury had to change its design.
- A major exporter of ballistic missiles and their technology, particularly to Iran.
- Has a reported store of chemical and biological weapons.
- Believed to have enough reprocessed plutonium for perhaps a half-dozen nuclear weapons.
- Developing an intercontinental missile capable of reaching the western United States.
- Might assist Iran and other nations hostile to the United States in their quest for nuclear technology.
- Could transfer nuclear technology, for much-needed cash, to terror groups like Hezbollah and Al Qaeda.
- Has weapons of mass destruction available to use against the 30,000 U.S. troops stationed in South Korea.
- Probably least predictable ruler if he feels threatened.
