I say we can, if we can get china involved as the peacemaker.

China has no interest in changing NK. They are trading with them, and have enough on their own plate to keep them busy. They know that NK is no threat to them, and figure the NK threat will keep us busy in Asia and out of their hair.

They figure that if they can keep up their growth, they will be the dominant power in the World in 50 years.

Michael,

I continue to hold that North Korea is all sound and fury signifying nothing. Their announcement of nukes and subsequent belligerence is about defensive deterence - don't attack us or we will nuke you. Overall, they are negotiating their place in the world using what leverage they have.

I have no apocalyptic sense of North Korea at all. Now, of course, the new FA will make me look foolish.

Paul
