it's going to be one of kim jong-il's sons. i fortunate we don't know for a much about him except he was allegedly educated in switzerland. but it's not important who the guy is. the important thing is what kind of a leader he is already being celebrated as. my hope was that this newly was going going to be present as a kind of new leader, maybe an economy first kind of live. that is having to having. is presented as a young joe. and added to that north korea has enshrined a military first principle in the constitution. it has deleted the word communism as well. said this regime is looking at the military first paradigm for the long haul, in other words. so to return to this draft. it's not important whether the next leader is the son or whether someone else. because whoever takes over is going to be faced with the same quandary really. which is how do we go from being a military first country to, say, an economy first country without losing all reason to exist as a separate state? this is what is so unrealistic for us to expec

kim jong-il himself is on record as saying that kim il-sung smuggling qualities were the key to his success so when people say that north korea is a confucian patriarchy, they really couldn't be further from the truth. this is not a confucian society at all. kim jong-il as well, even when his depicted in military uniform, he comes across more as salvation army matron. he looks very feminine, and in photographs he looks like a south korean housewife. [laughter] >> here of course you have him with his expansive breast as well as holders want to lay the face against. [laughter] >> we tend to think that this personality cult is so absurd because it doesn't look like our idea of a general. you say general to an american and we think macarthur and eisenhower. we think people don't look at all like this. but actually this image has an appeal on the people of north korea. just to make sure i'm not reading anything into these pictures. because north korean propaganda is not so. when they want to make a point they come right out and say it. so they do say literally our great mother, general kim jong-

>> it can be translated as becoming the sun and kim jong il can be translated as the true sun. these names are not particularly symbolic for the north korean people because they stopped using chinese characters in their ridings on wouldn't read too much into those names. you can look at the etymology of certain words but we are not really conscious of them in daily life. in korean families the names of the suns will often be quite similar so the first chinese character of the children's first name will all be the same one which is why the pictures i showed you are all quite similar. >> what about the daughter's? >> their names are different. >> do they take the mother's name? >> they can take any name. we don't know anything about these kids. i don't understand the obsession with which one of those kids it is going to be. we knew that kim jong il would take over for 15 years and yet we were taken by surprise by him. in the 1990s we thought he was a semi retarded playboy. they talked about him as if he was retarded. they raised the possibility and no one expected north korea to

kim kardashian is not the only person who mistakenly thinks because a mother cat picks up the kitten biz the s -- kittens picks them up, a hand under the rump is not needed. >> the other animal group says the hold is fine, and i get all of my advice from them when i potty train bill. but then they added -- >> the manner in which she is holding the animal could lead others to handle the animal. >> which to me is senseless. how can it cause others to hurt other cats? it is weird. it is like the media's take on the tea parties. sure their protests are peaceful, but it could lead to others to extremist violence. hopefully not against kittens. anyway, this little tail shows

ambassador wendy sherman who met kim jong-il when he was part of the clinton administration. and the co-founder of global zero an international organization devoted to eliminating nuclear weapons. let's continue the conversation. in the context of those who are not here, what can this group of leaders who are here do to help deal with the north korean problem or the iranian problem, for example? >> we at global zero believable and i personally believe that if we're able to achieve consensus, if we're able to bring the nuclear states and also the nuclear capable states and obviously this meeting is a group of states that have nuclear materials or access to nuclear materials, if we're able to bring as many of those states together as possible, and if we're able to agree, as i hope this summit will, there will be concrete agreements to safeguard nuclear materials, smuggling, nuclear materials crossing borders and nuclear materials within a country's borders.

kim lawton has a special report about the impressive efforts of one congregation, ginghamsburg church in ohio. >> reporter: sudan's western darfur province is considered one of the bleakest places on the planet. a state of humanitarian emergency has been in effect for more than seven years, since conflict broke out between the sudanese military, government- backed militias, and various rebel groups. hundreds of thousands of darfuri civilians have been attacked, raped and killed in what many in the world consider a campaign of genocide. millions have been displaced. the sudanese government has expelled most international relief groups. but dotted along southern darfur's dusty terrain, there are signs of ongoing aid. surprisingly, from a united methodist church half a world away called ginghamsburg. >> we see the purpose of the local church of going out into the world, being the hands and feet of jesus to the hurting, the oppressed, the poor, and being the empowering center in that local community. >> reporter: ginghamsburg chur is located in tipp city, ohio, a predominantly blue-collar

columnist dan henninger, james freeman, editorial board member jason riley and washington columnist kim strossle. before we get into some of the specific issue areas, i want to ask you a broader political question. nancy pelosi after health care passed said this is now the model that democrats plan to use to pass these other priorities. is this really what they're going to do, try to pass these bills on party line partisan votes? >> well, they really don't have any choice. if you look at that list that you just put out there. think about it, most of these things were actually supposed to be on the agenda and supposed to be passed last year and one of the reasons they didn't do it not just that they were pr preoccupied with health care, look at votes for instance, cap and trade, passed on the bare minimum and the legislative shall the financial reform bill passed on party line partisan vote and this is what they're going to be doing and has to go through the senate and there's not going to be bipartisanship around here. >> paul: finance reform, two republican senators, bob corker and jud

joining us is kim hart, she writes the hilicon valley column. >> host: you talked about how everybody's playing in each other's sand boxes these days. computer companies are selling cell phones, and you stressed a lot about the need for the government to insure that no player in the ecosystem has an advantage over another and that you wanted a really technology-agnostic kind of policy going forward. what do you think is the best way to approach that since you've just said that you do think some updates are needed to the law? are there specific updates that you see needed to make sure that we're keeping up with all these changes? >> guest: well, first of all, we haven't, we haven't come up with all the answers ourselves, and certainly there are going to be many people who have different ideas, and part of the effort here was to get a conversation going to really encourage people to come forward with their ideas and discuss how legislation might be put together. and i want to say i'm a former member of congress, not current, so it's not my job to do this. but i do think that there are man
