I disagree. The only one against multi-talks were NK, not any of the participants, including China. > 2) China's worry is not the survival of N Korean leadership, but a > failed nuke state on the border... Yes, a leadership that isn't always trustworthy or stable, and as devious as they come. > 3) Japan's worry is Obama will not back them when Japan fells it is > imperative NOT when Washington decides to (given Obama's temporizing > geo-political problems by talking rather than action...

The problem your having is in identifying the 2 major opponents: North Korea and South Korea...not Japan. Japan is sometimes used by NK as a scapegoat. The U.S. has already positioned Patriot ABM's in Japan, and it would be a safe bet that any future techs or more Patriots be stationed there if Japan really wanted them. To say that it is somehow Obama's fault before it ever happens is at the very least, premature. I see no indications of that other than the typical right-wing political paranoia. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
