If the administration does not push China hard enough, it risks losing crucial support in important electoral districts. But if it pushes too hard, it could alienate China at a time when the United States needs Beijing's help in containing North Korea. Couple this with the post earlier today about a resignation of a diplomat that differed with a "get tough" policy for N. Korea, and the Far East may soon join the ME as a "Hot Spot". The more the Korean "problem" drags out, the more I'm concerned that Rove is in charge of the timing. As for China, deciding to change the rate for the Yuan, I believe we've already had their response.<g> JMO lurqer

A few more comments on the campaign... Message 19247592 I have a hard time believing that someone who has been steadily ramping up high profile public appearances and drawing clear differences between himself and Bush would not be running. Doesn't make sense. Clark's been very cleverly maximizing the free media attention surrounding speculation about his candidacy. By doing so, he is covered as a separate entity, rather than being lumped in with the Democratic field. He has just about maxed out this strategy, and therefore I believe he'll announce he's in very soon. Remember, undecideds have been increasing. Dean looks good, but nobody else does and thus there is a lot of room for him. I say Clark's in, and will really change this race. Posted by KM at August 24, 2003 09:05 PM ---------------------- Clark's position as #2 on Meetup is significant. For a long time Dean was the only candidate with any presence there. For Clark to get to #2 without having spent one penny in campaign money is impressive. Posted by Rob at August 24, 2003 09:05 PM
