Giving kids a huge bag of candy to teach them a lesson......doesn't work. BTDT.

And Bryan, I think maybe you have challenged me before to go back and answer a specific question and I may have ran out of time or maybe (like in this case) it was a rhetorical question but okay. I'm happy to answer any question.

My first blush is like like bob. Two wrongs do not make a right. You didn't want to consider that to be an answer, but it is. Why don't you just steal from other people? Others do it.

But what we're hoping for is that stealing subsides or is eliminated. We'd like China to be more environmentally responsible. In order to bring that about, we will (hopefully) be drawing China into discussions in which China and other nations can discuss nation-behavior in the context of a world community. I know this is a lot more complicated than NASCAR or the Iraq War, but that's how progress is actually made. diplomacy. Neanderthals don't understand this concept, but mature humans do. In the minds of the folks who are enjoying the Iraq situation and who regard liberals as wimps, a synonym for Diplomacy would be "forgiveness." I disagree. I thing a better synonym would be "discussion."

Better yet: "discussion that brings pressure."
