North Korea: China's puppet government

I just do not understand why President Bush insists on involving China in negotiations to disarm North Korea. When every time we try to do something to punish North Korea for breaking one agreement after another, China steps in and insists that the punishment is too severe or is too damaging to their infrastructure or their economy. This was shown to be true once again, when China turned down a request by the US to shut off the supply of fuel to North Korea in order to force the Stalinist state to come to the six party talks.

There should be no one who is surprised at this since North Korea is just another diplomatic weapon for China to use against the West. I recommend everyone read this very good article from two years ago by WorldNetDaily talking about how China uses North Korea as a political pawn. In one example that is given, China agreed not to veto the American resolution against Iraq in return for an American guarantee not to conduct a preemptive attack on North Korea.

It just angers me to know that the American government, no matter whether of the left or the right, just keeps letting China off the hook for creating a nuclear armed North Korea. Since most everyone knows that without the blessing from the Chinese the North Koreans would never acquire nukes. In addition, it frustrates me how nobody in the main stream media covers this story, which is by far one if not the most important world issues out there.
