Agree. We better get these commie clowns unto our side instead of China the same way we did in Germany after WW2.

I just watched an old PBS documentary about the Battle of Chosin Reservoir. Mao was VERY committed to annihilating us. Of course he didn't, but he also was able to keep North Korea within his sphere.

The times are changing. While I don't consider the Chinese to be friends, I do think that they are being more pragmatic when it comes to world relations and trade. I can see where China would be more agreeable to opening up North Korea. I've read that North Korea has lots of mineral resource potential. I imagine the Chinese and the Norks would like to develop that.
