In this in September 1950 file photo, United Nations troops fire from a barricade in Seoul, South Korea. The building at left carries portraits of Soviet leader Josef Stalin and North Korean leader Kim Il Sung. For nearly 70 years, the three generations of the Kim family have run North Korea with an absolute rule that tolerates no dissent. The ruling family has devoted much of the country's scarce resources to its military but has constantly feared Washington is intent on destroying the authoritarian government.
