| #1 Colin Powell sent the Chinese a message this week, letting them know that *South* Korea had fiddled around with building nuclear something-or-other. This plays off the serious Chinese revelation that if the Norks get nukes, the South Korea, Japan, and even Taiwan will get them before you can say "Jark Lobinson." This puts the Chinese in the unpleasant position of *not knowing*--something the Chinese abhor a lot more than sitting on the Norks. It would be a drag to throw a few missiles at Taiwan, then all of a sudden sunrise comes early. |
