why don't we offer you a solution where we finland-ize north korea?n the end, you help to bring down the regime, but you can decide who succeeds, nonnuclear north korea, not allied to the west, not an expansion of the west, up to your border, but it would be finland-ized, the way that finland and the cold warou was committed to a pro-soviet foreign policy, but has its own internal political regime. that, i think, is the one solution that would be the least destructive. it would be a peaceful transition. i think it is, however, unlikely.de that is the deal we ought to make. in the end, we can't rely on the chinese. we are going to have to deter the north koreans ourselves. if we can get the chinese to do it, it would be a welcome miracle. but miracles are fairly scarce these days. >> dana: you can't count on them, that is for sure. last question to you, going back to that column on january 5th. you wrote that the principal strategic challenge facing the united states is the rise of revisionist powers, russia, china, and iran. i wondered what you might

this base close to finland is normally off—limits to western media but we have been invited to meet russia'sentigrade. today, the brigade is on exercises, repelling an enemy attack. recently, washington accused moscow of acting aggressively in the arctic to increases military presence, the response from russia was "what is the problem?" i think any country, no matter where it is, has its own interests. this is our land, russian land, and we will defend it. this is the first time foreign journalists have been allowed to film, and by bringing us here they are sending a clear message to the outside world, that russia is ready and determined to protect its national interests in the arctic. that's because there is money to be made here. the arctic waters are thought to contain one quarter of the planet's undiscovered oil and gas. with polar ice shrinking, there's now an opportunity to extract the energy. there are new shipping lanes, too. russia is competing with other arctic powers for a slice of the profits. it's also building a string of bases. president putin visited one last month. russia's

brief point.e one i think this idea of finland is problematic. a lot of times when we talk about a soviet invasion we talk about the u.s., the u.n., we don't talk about the afghan regime itself. the afghan communist government was in place and one of the critical factors that would have prevented this idea of finland theging is they recognize durham lined as an international boundary between afghanistan and pakistan. and what finally led to the soviet withdrawal led to this issue. this is obviously important today. it geneva the way the --ords -- the geneva accords it meant that conflict was regardless of what was decided at the u.n. or the way that the u.s. or soviets tried to influence discussion. >> i think there at least secondhand evidence that the offers were trying to this as a carrot to afghanistan in the middle of the decade. finally you can have some border dispute resolved. and offer thatrm was and how durable i leave to you to research. >> i'm going to come over to the side of the room. jennifer, thanks for your great paper and the pa

processors got more foul-- powerful, so in about 1998 the world's largest cell phone manufacturer in finlandwas looking for a way to do ring tones and their phones. they had seen some japanese phones coming out that had a yamaha many chip that were able to play some ringtones, but but they didn't want to have the expense and liability of a dedicated hardware chip in each unit, so they look for a software synthesizer that was small and efficient enough to play ring tones and their phones and we already had the only solution, so in about 98 we set engineers to finland to see if they could port technology to the mass market phones and the long and short of it was that they licensed it and embedded in their phones and ship several hundred million of them and saved beatniks bacon because we would have gone the way of many other businesses if it were not for this one deal. >> you mentioned ringtones and needed from another company called retro ring tones which i think in some measure was the payoff for all of this hard-working silicon valley and there's an interesting story about the ring tone phe
