...nuclear program to heel, U.S. President George W. Bush is plainly eager to finesse the trade issue as best he can. Asked a leading question at a press conference about trade with China earlier this month, Bush not only didn't take the bait, but offered a crisply cogent description of the economic reality Hu faces every morning: "Listen," Bush said, "China's a country that has to create 25 million jobs a year just to stay even.

By the end, the political implications are clear: the U.S. sees itself as the lonesome marshal--Gary Cooper in High Noon--when in fact it possesses the world's biggest arsenal and is making more trouble than it's preventing. Or not. But you needn't agree with this...
