Apology

Typos are a curse and I must apologize for one I made in my last blog. There you will find a sentence, early on, that reads, "The desire to keep a buffer zone between their (China's) tremendously large nation (and a free and democratic state) is really the only thing that keeps a meglomaniac in power in North Korea.' Somehow, the word "it" found its way to a place between "is" and "really." Also, I neglected to put in "and a free and democratic state." I've made plenty of typos before, but this one was the worst.

Of course, I should also have begun the sentence with "Their desire" instead of "The desire." But that weakness in the sentence is not as troubling as the placement of the "it" where it had no right to be.

Anyway, I am sorry.
