Once in Iraq, I expect that the N. Korean issue will come to a head. At that time, I expect that China will use the two front war to seize Tiawan, its renegade province.
The Tiawan problem is one that virtually no American understands. In the view of the Chinese, Tiawan is like Hawaii. They are a state that belongs to them, and it would be like us permitting another country to hold and maintain our state.
For over 50 years, they have plotted and contemplated the retaking of Tiawan from western influence. The history of western colonialism is a driving force, and in fact that form of nationalism is one of the few pieces of currency the Communists have to maintain thought control.
After succesfully seizing, stealing, and developing continued missle and nuclear techonolgy, the Chinese, now developing a naval force of substance, are preparing to take Tiawan, and I believe the N. Korean venture has been planned to coincide with the U.S war in Iraq. Don't be surprise to see U.S forces engaged in a protracted battle in the cities o Iraq, with N. Korea pouring over the DMZ. At that moment, Tiawan will be the most vulnerable Nation on earth.
