Who's running North Korea?

I know what you mean, when it's a nut making decisions there's a 50% chance he'll screw himself. But this group sound like dedicated evil, with checks and balances that keep them from making that kind of mistake.

I'll never understand what drives them though. Sure they want power and to be one of the less than 700 people with internet access in North Korea. But they could move the country in a different direction which would still benefit themselves while not fucking the rest of their countrymen as badly.

Maybe it's like keeping an animal in a cage, while abusing it regularly, there comes a point where the fear of it getting out governs your every move.
