Sounds very close to my plot for The Dragon's Fury Series.

IMHO, China would not act until we were wholly engaged/committed in both places.

In my books, we get drawn into fighting Iran and then N. Korea goes south. As we try and respond to that, and in the midst of the PRC playing like they are mediating, our expeditionary force en route to S. Korea gets weigh-laid, and then China goes after Taiwan and further points in the Western Pacific.

It would be very tempting for Red China to jump in while we're stamping out a Middle East fire.

But I suspect they wouldn't till after the '08 Olympic Games. Still.....

Great books Jeff. Finishing Volume 2 right now. I need to read some more. Don't want reality to get ahead of your 'fiction'. Only country you had wrong was India. Of course the Islamists are working hard to try to 'persuade' the Indians to change their mind. So there is still time. I did think you had Israel playing too much defense early. Was that because of the Syrian ruse ? Perhaps the Israeli's read your book, and of course much older scrolls, and decided that accelerating the clock was their best move.
