Athabaska, I'm keeping a scrapbook here on China. It's amazing the number of pots they're in or stirring. Japan is on edge and rethinking its military capacity. Australia and New Zealand are watching closely as China extends its political and economic clout across the Pacific. I think it's a huge story and will certainly dwarf Iraq or Iran in the next few years. Tibet is a tragedy and no western power will intervene. Taiwan is living on borrowed time. And most of us are so busy monitoring a crisis-choked world we're missing it.

RE: Bush vs. Ahmadinejad
This is only semi-related, but does anyone remember back in the US presidential debates when Bush had a transmitter on his back during the (I think third) debate with Kerry? Was it real?

Yes, I think it was. Too be fair, they both probably had transmitters with their teams giving them the stats and stuff to answer questions. But Bush was the only one who didn't understand what his team was saying to him. But then he probably didn't understand the questions either.

Shrub doesn't understand anything. He'd be lucky if he knew his own name. The yankees are deceitful and you can't believe a word they say. That debate was a great comedy hour.

That would be an excellent debate. With the media unblocked in both directions, the event would be a hit. Then applying the same conditions Bush could debate the Russian and Chinese leaders.
We're dealing with a part of the world most of us would gladly see disappear tomorrow. A little candour would be deliciously surprising.

Oh, for heaven's sake. The answer is in the subject. Who can pronounce that 2nd name properly? Nobody who speaks English only. Nobody. Bill Maher laughed at that name when it was pronounced, and he said, "Let's call him Frank." And he proceeded to call him Frank through his comedy routine. That's is the reason - the excuse, if you will.

Yeah, Glenn was on last night saying he'd moderate the debate. Here we are in a standoff whose effects could rock us for years and humour is the only thing that's cooling the fire.
I continue to be amazed that Russia and China are doing so little and we're letting them away with it.
Hmmm, are all those sanctions placed against India and Pakistan after they acquired the bomb still in place?

For a good laugh and a very sobering look at the thought process or lack of in bush, read the transcripts of his interview with Katie Couric.
Why, Katie--I dont think diplomacy -well- its just that you gotta have people sitting and pretending to talk to each other and it takes so long....
