...starting a war. That's a tough sell, many in the region say - us-against-the-world paranoia has been at the center of the North Korean regime since its founding in 1948. But the Chinese have pressed the notion on Kim, in part because China's President Hu Jintao believes what George W.

George Bush, “the leader of the free world,” has scarcely visited France in his presidency, most recently to celebrate the Normandy landing. But Hu Jintao, the colorless Chinese autocrat, who has turned back the clock on democratic reforms, was given a greeting during a Parisian state visit last year fit for an American president, the Pope, and the Dalai Lama rolled into one. For four days the Eiffel Tower was lit red. France, also heavily...
