Have to chuckle. Congratulations on setting up this thread. Notice the temperature level and political bomb throwing on the main Loral thread is undiminished but what the ... Come on, you can do better than that particular Bush stuff which was proved false beyond the shadow of a doubt. If you wish to attack Bush then perhaps his soft spot for China (or realism perhaps) might be more on point. Of course, Clinton in his typical flip flop fashion ran his first election claiming Bush was too soft on the Chinese and then gradually reversed that toward warm and then warmer relations (in the national interest) from the day after rpt after the election on. Just for clarity, I agree in policy with both Bush and Clinton on China. I also think that economic santctions - such as against India are just the equivalent of shooting ourselves in the foot. Also IMO the broo ha ha about preventing encryption from anyone is laughable - especially the US ban on such stuff that Sun can not sell overseas even though developed independently by Russians Sun hired. Think attempts to limit dual use technology stupid, against the US interest (just helps competitors in other countries), are doomed to fail, and on and on. However, the fact that there now is direct clear information that in at least one specific case a Chinese daughter of the chief of the Chinese armed forces did pass some bucks to a person who was in the influence business is cause for some further investigation IMO. Also the idea that signing the last waver on the day a Chinese "businesman" described as an arms dealer just happened to be in the White House is an interesting coincidence at a minimum, no? That Clinton is purer than the driven snow is a little difficult to believe, but maybe so. Time well tell, maybe - but with the success of stonewalling and vicious attacks on anyone foolish enough to suggest that the King may have no clothes - I ain't holding my breath. Cheers. Chaz
