Nice Moves, Kid

The EU may have found an elegant way to calm things down in the Taiwan straits.

China: Lift the arms embargo! Me love you long time!*
EU: Maybe...
US: No! Absolutely not! They'll destroy the freedom loving Taiwanese!
UK Foreign Minister Jack Straw: Okay. Tell you what Beijing: You get rid of the pesky anti-secession law, and we'll lift the arms embargo.

Boy, if that works, it will be the height of elegance on the part of Tony Blair's government.

*Dearest Vicki. I'm so very, very sorry. But it had to be said.
