I believe so. China is using Korea to guage our responses, including the state of our ABM capability.

Remember that China has a LOT to lose if it has to deal with a loose cannon called NK, such as losing face two years before their big shendig called the summer Olympics.

World War V ended with the all of the Berlin Wall. Wars get named what the press and the academics wind up calling them. It winds up being a consensus of the owners of Established press and publishing entities. This one will be the WOT until its nature as a real war becomes manifest to even the NYT, as it will.

"If we cast off our inhibitions, and fought all-out, we could make short work of our enemies."

The problem is that we are a muscle-bound giant, afraid of our own power.

One of these days the Islamists are going to bring down the Sears tower, or plant a suitcase nuke at the base of Hoover Dam. Then maybe we'll wake up. I am not optimistic, based on our feckless behavior since 9/11.

"Giving power and money to Congress is like giving liquor and car keys to teenage boys. - P.J. O'Rourke "

Excellent! I'm using that as my new tagline!

Actually we DO have some pretty good ideas. Some of 'em are workin' pretty well in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We do have issue at home with a population that has not been mobilized for the war and internal enemies waging "lawfare" on our military. We need to mobilize the people, demonize the enemy (they ARE demonic), and hang some lawyers.

LOL! I don't disagree with your assesment, but you've taken on a BIG project.

I suspect it won't be accomplished in our lifetimes.
