As much as we like to bash the chicoms, nixon's move was one of the prereqs for taking down communism and the soviet empire. China now is more a quasi fascist state, but one that understands the importance of free markets. Can they remain half free (economic) and half slave (politically). Answer so far is yes and that is done thru their appeal to nationalism. West might have missed an opportunity at the time of Tiennamen when nationalism had more to do with freedom and democracy than with chinese hegemony in the region. The chinese leaders came close to doing the right thing but in the end they reverted to form. Now we have to wait 50 years and hopefully this will all work out without war and with an end to tyranny.

CNN Shiites break deadlock on Iraq leader
Shiite lawmakers in Iraq have selected a prime minister candidate to replace Ibrahim al-Jaafari, a move that is expected to jump-start the stalled political process in the nation, according to two members of a top Shiite party. He is Jawad al-Maliki, a member of parliament from Iraq's Dawa Party. The Shiites have been under pressure to choose a candidate by the time parliament convenes Saturday.
