...together, these efforts could break the deadlock?and produce other lasting benefits. Managing the North Korean challenge could usher in a new era of security cooperation in North Asia and allow China and Japan to resolve age-old differences and begin dealing with each other with a measure of trust. It's time for these two giants to transcend their discord and instead focus on the long-term stability of their region. When elephants fight, no one wins...
...accept that there is a trust issue?" the BBC's Jeremy Paxman asked Blair in an interview last week.
