    "BEIJING, May 10 - China on Tuesday ruled out applying economic or political sanctions to pressure North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons program, appearing to undercut a crucial element of the Bush administration's evolving North Korea strategy. The announcement comes just as American intelligence agencies are trying to determine whether North Korea is preparing for a nuclear test."

    What next?

    Do the Chinese propose an alternate strategy in return?

        I am almost willing to pull out of SK, Taiwan and Japan and let them figure this out for themselves.

          I didn't know you were in them, Ned.

          Damn, doing three at once? How'd you split your...? And put jimmy hats on all of them?

          It's like you're some betentacled monster of their dreams!

          ( And, of course, this is China's doing, which is why you want to punish SK, Taiwan, and Japan. )

          ( And, of course, we don't exactly have a presence in Taiwan. )

              That's an odd way of phrasing "bow to your eastern masters"
              Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

                      They're infinitely more dangerous, but they're fortunately thousands times less crazy

                          My plan is to mostly post inane comments and wait out the end of the human era.
