But a bit like an airline's aircrew are strategic competitors of the shareholders and the engineering staff, each seeking a bigger share of the pie, all of them are dependent on the airline continuing to stay aloft. That's an interesting analogy, but it will break down when the strategic interests of the US and China diverge sufficiently. Those strategic interests will also vary depending on the governments in power at any particular time. And since both nations have an interest in reining in Kim Jong Il before he drags us all over the edge, I don't worry excessively about N. Korea. I hope I'm not proven wrong, or make some kind of miscalculation.. But if so, then it was apparent that Kim Jong Il was bent upon creating a crisis and taking it to its full extent. And the chance for such one on one miscalculations is exactly what makes multi-lateral talks so important.. Just as the USA has many self-running states and they don't each maintain peace with neighbours by military means, let alone nukes, but by way of a federal constitution, so the world can run in such a way, though less integrated for now. Apparently you don't know much about the US.. :0) Each state only has such powers as not assigned to the Federal Government in the US constitution... And Federal law has precedence over state or local law. Hawk
