Pakistan, North Korea, Iran.

China is behind this.

If a nuke goes off from Iran or provided by Iran, Beijing will become radioactive. Hear that China??? We big noses aren't as stupid as you think.

Add Venezula to that list...

"China is behind this."

Totally agree. China supplied Pakistan's Dr. Khan the plans. The nuke plans Libya handed over last year and were claimed to be from Pakistan had Chinese writing on them.

"China is behind this."

Not a chance. China has been keeping North Korea on life support for a good long time, but would never hand them the technology or weaponry to make them a potential adversary. This is the work of rogue Pakistani government folks and people from the old Soviet nations that have been whoring out their nuclear knowhow to anyone who'll feed them. China has been handing North Korea help with low-end weaponry to keep them in the area as a helpful distraction to US pacific forces so we can't look too closely on Taiwan. With the US tying up significant resources in South Korea, we're far less likely to be in a position to assist Taiwan in the event that China decides to take the island.

The bottom line is that China's leadership recognizes that Kim Jong-il is a nutjob and is as likely to send a nuclear weapon to Beijing as he is anywhere else. They've been frantically working inside and outside North Korea, publicly and privately, to difuse the nuclear situation.

We are not going to nuke China. If a nuke goes off or is set off by Iran then we will deal with Iran.

Are these the same people that told Bush and others that Saddam had certain weapons? I don't have a lot of faith right now in who is telling the truth.

I feel for Bush trying to make a decision on how to handle this.

I wouldn't be surprised if Israel doesn't intervene. Perhaps someone should do something BEFORE Iran actually has the weapon.

I think we are running out of time.
