China/Russia support Iran Sanctions
So how soon should we expect another "terrorist attack" here at home?

PARIS, July 12 — Russia and China, crossing a major diplomatic threshold in the international effort to curb Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, agreed to join the United States and Europe today in seeking a United Nations Security Council resolution ordering Iran to freeze its nuclear activities or face sanctions.

Bush administration officials characterized today’s statement as a victory, particularly for Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s gamble that she could get China and Russia to support sanctions if the United States first made Iran a strong offer of incentives. American and European officials said that Iran, in refusing to either accept or reject the offer quickly, may have miscalculated its support from Russia and China.

2. China supported Vietnam during the 1960s too.
Who knows what is reality, what is spin, and what is utter fiction anymore.

But I'm not surprised China is changing its tune.
