China's real interest in stabilizing this situation via getting the Gargoyle under control is they don't want North Korean citizens invading China which would happen due to the fact that North Korean citizens are starving, many already crossing the border.

Wonder what part of the Gargoyle's anatomy the Chinese said they'd hand him if he didn't comply?????????

"THE NORKS' MEA CULPA

"North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il now says he's sorry about his nation's first nuclear test.  Why the sudden change of heart?  Because North Korea's biggest neighbor, China, has turned up the heat.  Essentially China sent a delegation to meet with The Gargoyle and told him to come back to the six-party talks and stop testing nuclear weapons.  The result was Kim Jong-Il caved.  China is his enabler.  He had no real choice.  So we probably won't see anymore nuclear tests north of the DMZ for awhile.

All of  this proves one thing......the Bush administration's way of dealing with North Korea actually works, whereas the Clinton administration's policy of appeasement and bilateral negotiations does not.  If Clinton had been in office --- or if the Democrat Appeasement Party had its way, we would have rushed in there with money and promises, and the Gargoyle would be sitting fat and happy, the toast of America-haters everywhere.
