The New York Times: Reports that US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has stated that the USA could start to inspect North Korean ships. This would be a tough move by Obama, it would show that the USA was no longer going to play games with North Korea, a game that allowed North Korea to hold all the aces. One can postulate that this news has a link to the recent news that two us reporters have been jailed for 12 years. If Obama is tough with North Korea then his Middle East policy might have a chance, Israel would see that Obama can be tough enough to deal with Iran, and the Middle East countries would see that Obama can follow through, thus his pressure on Israel not to build new settlements on the West Bank. As stated before, the Obama Policy in Asia leads all the way back to Tehran in Iran. One false move by Obama in Asia and he could a arms build up with Japan and South Korea, and Iran going nuclear.
