Any other good news? In the Korean war (correct me if I am wrong), did we not have the North Koreans beat until the Chinese entered the war. I have to hope that this time the Chinese do not want this kind of adventure to distract them from their goals. I believe their main goal is not to conquer the world militarily but rather become an economic powerhouse. I wonder if today's China really supports the insane belligerence of North Korea. I wonder if George Bush may (as always) be a lot smarter than he appears. Maybe he wants to provoke the North Koreans into some foolish action. That would give us the excuse to finish them off. Just trying here to find something positive.

Tahoe, China is the wild card in any Korean conflict - just as they were 50 years ago. What if we made a deal with them - Taiwan in exchange for crushing any military moves North Korea might make? What if we kept Taiwan as our ultimate trump card, and instead offered to keep up the most favor trading status, high export consumption, welcoming into the WTO, etc? China stands to benefit greatly by being the peacekeeper in the region, but it won't come for free. We are hardly without options in that game. Sharp
