[ham] [Rhodes22-list] FW: A good idea

[brad haslett]

MJM,

Actually the stopesso.com website is quite
informative.  I downloaded the Deutsche Bank analysis
and quickly read through it to see how well it
dovetailed with a research paper I wrote about a year
ago.  The website producers used some out of context
excerpts about Exxon to support their position.  I'm
no cheerleader of big oil companies but for those who
think its all easy money, buy some oil company stock.

Now, for that Korea thing.  It IS up to China.  They
have more reason to be nervous about a fruitcake
leader having nukes in their backyard than we do. 
China is North Korea's largest trade partner and
energy supplier.  Compared to Japan, South Korea, and
us, North Korea is very small potatoes.  Plus, China
doesn't need any more people, they have plenty
already, trust me.  China is open for business and
will follow the money.  The US represents 40% of
China's growth.  They may do some posturing and chest
beating but in the end, they'll deal with North Korea.
