The North Koreans are hoping to get away without consequences for collaborating with Syria/Iran to develop nukes.
Actually, only China can disarm NK peacefully. They must depose 'Mr. Il'. China is not likely to do that unless they are confronted directly, and with extreme unction. They seem to like sticking it to the democracies by keeping the thorn of NK in our side.
Bush, Cheney, Gates and Condi need to act assertively and quickly, using the biggest economic stick they can think of. This is not a time for the UN Security Council, that would bog down. However, the G7 could act more quickly, and with much more muscle. Together the G7 countries represent a very large proportion of the world economy, and are vital trading partners for China.
China makes a lot of goods for export to G7 countries, but the G7 could source many of these products from elsewhere. India, the Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia, even Vietnam could fill the void. The G7 should not even threaten to bypass China. We should just start planning how we're going to do it. China will figure it out.
When asked where the main global threats are, Americans mention China and Iran, and I agree. The arc of adversaries is becoming clearer. China uses NK to harass the allied democracies by enabling NK to help Iran/Syria/Hizbulla/Hamas acquire nukes. The bomb plans NK, Iran and Syria are using came from China, via Pakistan.
China and Iran are connected through NK.
