Who's afraid of the big, bad wolf?

Not China, apparently. Go here... for the lay of the land.

I've gotta say, Iranian Prez Madman Ahmadinejad scares the bejesus out of me. The really bad news is, it looks like he's got some new best friends. Let's remember that an Israeli naval corvette was put out of action on July 18 by what was reported as an Iranian supplied weapon.

In actual fact, the ordnance that smoked this boat was a Chinese C-802 Silkworm anti-ship missile.

Everybody these days is talking about China's newfound economic clout. Obviously, as long as China has an insatiable appetite for middle eastern oil, it would be foolish to discount the geopolitical aspect of the equation.
