Default Re: If I were in charge ...

In regards to China DMM, you offer a very realist perspective on your policies. I'm not saying i agree or disagree, but just to play the devil's advocate, why not take a more liberal approach and try to democratize them every chance you get. It is a commonly held liberal beleif(in IR theory) that democracies don't go to war with eachother. If we can further their interdependence on other nations (especially economically) through trade and such and involove them more in world organizations like the WTO then that would reduce the probability of conflict with them on their road to becoming a democracy where there should be a state of confident peace. Again I'm not saying I advocate this approach, I just want to stir the pot a little.
