"If the U.S. quickly finishes this war successfully, the North Koreans will be more cautious in the future." Good Article. I hope the Chinese are waking up to the downside of letting the NK's bombast continue. Let's keep in mind, a few years from now, the Dems demand that we have immediate unilateral talks with NK. You are going to see some changes in attitude by Governments that are presently hostile to us as a result of the Iraqi liberation.

Such tough tactics show an unexpected resolve in Beijing's policy toward Pyongyang, and hint at the nervousness of Chinese leaders about North Korea's nuclear ambitions and North Korea's tensions with the United States. It would appear the Chinese are finally getting the message that the Bush administration is willing to let the situation escalate unless they step forward and restrain their unruly surrogate. And that, in my opinion, displays some of the wisdom the Bushites have shown in dealing with a hard-@ss like Kim Jong Il.. You can't let him badger and extort us into complying with his demands.. Especially when we're right and he has violated his treaty obligations. And you must force other world powers to face their responsibilities. Hawk
