January 2003 will be a very interesting time indeed.

I see China's behind this. Korea is ejecting UN nuclear inspectors as a sign of disrespecting the UN. This way China gets across the point that it's not just the US that can denigrate and ignore the UN. Ammunition is given to the peaceniks who say it's all about oil. That's why we go after Iraq instead of Korea. On a strategic level this makes the US devote mental energy to Korea just when it's about to go to war with Iraq. Who knows what stunts N Korea will pull once we strike Iraq?

China's invisible hand. Who benefits from Korea's latest actions?
