Assange
Why is it that a man whose name sounds like some vulgar toilet utensil is getting the world so upset?
He is merely a humble hacker/journalist with the potential to verify what most people already know. Who's afraid of a little blackmail?
This man is a schmuck.
He said himself that he is a "combative person" with ties to a cult from an early age. The mental and emotional scarring that traumatizing childhood experiences with this cult left upon him have caused him to have an axe to grind with the world. Somebody get me some tissues.
N. Korea
.
China wants the US to take the initiative and invade North Korea, because that is how China behaves. They don't want to take a hit from N. Korea (even though they could win). Years of having a psychotic dictator like Mao has taught them to revert to older Confucian values of patience and saving. They complement the adventuresome US very well, and the world empire of Chimerica will thrive if it can hold together.
As for this "spoiled child" Kim Jong-Il, the Chinese feel no qualms about letting the US know that they are against him. What they fear is that he will lash out at them first, so they continue to provide him with resources. I'm sure that many in China would rather not have a democratic neighbor. As always, it is a mixed issue, but those with the money (largely derived from the US) have the most power and therefore the largest say in how the administration will behave in China.
