#1 Maybe people will finally figure out the truth behind China's smoke and mirrors - that North Korea is really a rattlesnake bred by China to keep Uncle Sam at bay.

#4 That's an intriguing offer. If the Taiwanese had it in their power to also throw in Pamela Anderson, I'm thinking Li'l Kim would go for it.

Not going to happen. Chinese aid is the only thing keeping Kim Jong-il in power today. The amount of money needed to match this aid year-in and year-out would be huge. Besides, any offer would lead to a Chinese invasion.

#6 Every high level meeting is carefully stage managed beforehand. The low level apparatchiks get together and flesh out everything, so by the time the big boys even meet they just need to go through the motions for the photo-op. This avoids tons of wasted effort, insult, open haggling and other such nonsense. What has actually been decided is *not* for public consumption.
