#1 The Chinese have stipulated that the North Koreans, to avoid further embarassing statements, will be represented at all future talks by mimes.

#2 If a Nork mime was hit and killed by a falling tree in the woods, and nobody heard it, would anyone care?

#4 Early Friday, China canceled a scheduled closing ceremony for the talks.

I think you're all missing the point here. The "closing ceremony" talks are being cancelled because China readily anticipates these negotiations as being endless. How do you have a "closing ceremony" for interminable stalling?

The time has come to actively encourage South Korean and Japanese nuclear arms development. China should be made to face the dangerous and realistic consequences of proliferating nuclear technology in their neighborhood. They've been crapping on their own doorstep for far too long.

Hell, give 'em some of our older warheads for cheap. Two birds can be killed with one stone that way; they get weapons to counter Kimmie's, and we in effect "reduce" the number of nukes in our inventory.

#8 'DetÃ«nte' is the only way to go short of total engagement. MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction) will force the Norks to back down to a more conventional "in your face" confrontation; but at that point, it's a***oles & elbows anyway!
