It has been China, not the US, which has worked to reduce tensions in the
region. Both in
regards to the US spy plane incident and North Korea, the Chinese have avoided
escalation.
The US, on the other hand, pushed the issues without regards for consequences.
If there is a war in the region, it would be more likely some sort of
provocation by Bush.
For example, to win the election, he could launch an attack on North Korea or
create some
sort of situation over Taiwan.
