China wants to appear to be friendly towards Iran, but China doesn't want a nuclear-armed Iran either.

You are simply making things up. One:

China wants to appear to be friendly towards Iran -- China siply wants to "appear" friendly? This is siple fantasy. China has associated itself with Iran and this regie for a long tie. Immediately after President Bush gave his Axis of Evil speech Jiang Zemin went off to hold a State visit in Iran where their long tie alliance was continued. China has provided Iran materials for missiles and chemical weapons and has long been providing nuclear technology.

Two: China doesn't want a nuclear-armed Iran either.

How would you know? Again, pure fiction on your part. You have no basis for saying this.

Your arguent is not based on any factual analysis at all and is made up out of thin air.

You're absolutely right. Iran is the key national security issue right now and we need China to help pressure Iran.

You two actually believe: i) we need China to pressure Iran and ii) China is interested in pressuring Iran?

That's a rhetorical question, obviously. Please outline the method of the pressure we need China's help to carry out. I assume you mean the UN.

If you can't figure out why China doesn't want a nuclear-armed Iran, then you lack the knowledge base for an informed discussiona and I can't help you with this issue.

In other words, it's so obvious why China doesn't want Iran to have nuclear weapons that you can easily figure this out yourself. If you can't figure it out, then I can't help you.

Economic pressure. China does a lot of business with Iran, and China could cancel or postpone some deals as one method of applying pressure on Iran.

I'm getting sorrier for voting for Bush with each new sell-out.

Presidents are just trouser stuffing at the end of the day; what really counts is whether the nation gains or loses respect during his term.

Nixon's overtures to China were overshadowed by the political scandal of a botched campaign ploy straight out of The Hardy Boys, but the world was watching; China was waiting and each day, it tightens the leash just a bit tighter on its satellite lands.

The current balance of trade deficit favors China by a factor of 3-1; do you expect our children to go barefoot?

We should be glad they don't have oceans of oil.

China provided the means for Pakistan to create their nuclear weapons. Why did China want a nuclear armed Pakistan?

Similarly, China has been aiding Iran in their nuclear technology.

Speaking about Israel, are they selling arms to the PRC, Taiwan, or both?

"you have GOT to be kidding me. are you serious???? You post is utterly devoid of what actually transpired post the UN iraqi vote."

Your talking 'post UN Iraq vote'. My claim remains. The UNSCRs authorized the war, signed by the P5.

"address THAT before you refute what I wrote."

What you wrote was just sarcasm that ignored the joint resolutions of the security coucil, along with your absurd attempt to equate Bush to Chamberlin.

"how old are you?"

zzzzzzzzzzz

Screw Bush, he's becoming the total loser he was always destined to be. The Falun Gong woman who protested at the recent Chinese photo-op also got rough treatment, all in deference to those wonderful Chinese Commies. Screw him royally. What a dick.
