Great thread, chorn. We can always count on you. <g>

Here is a view similar to yours (and ours):

Perhaps the Chinese are using the incident to measure the will of the new President.

Well George better get on with it. Time is a wastin'

Somepositive things he could do.

1) delay China's entry into the WTO as a full member and deny Most Favored Nation Status to China until further notice.

2) Sell Taiwan all the military equipment they want to buy.

3) Have K-MART and Wal-Mart send back all the Chinese junk cluttering their shelves. ??Are we really going to miss those 3/8 socket sets made in China???

4) Time to pay some hackers a little incentive money to mess with the Chinese computer systems.

5) Pull some strings at the World Bank to tighten up Chinese credit.

6) I'm sure that we got a few subs in the area that would like to practice rapid surfacing under some Chinese ships.

7) Most of all tell'em, keep the damn plane ,we sending a new one over armed with a few cruise missiles"

You gotta mess with their rice bowls, its the only language they understand. Mc Arthur was right we should have nuked the bastards. It would have solved two problems at one tine. N. Korea, and China

OT; RE China

There was a very good interview with a retired Admiral on PBS Newshour last night. The guy said that the Chinese are not "familar" with the cat-n-mouse game that the spy planes play with ground forces. He said the Russians were very used to it and this was considered routine... penetrate, try to activate defenses, measure how they respond and take the data home... It seems that he felt the Chinese were new to this and that the incidents between us and them have been increasing for the past few months.

I head today that there might be two factions inside China debating how to handle this and this debate is slowing a final resolution. Bush seems to be firm but patient. IF the electronics inside the plan are toast, then there really is no rush as I doubt strongly that the service men inside are in danger for their lives...

The funny thing is China NEEDS AMAT gear to burry Japan once and for all to make up for WWII occupation. They can't do this if they battle over petty stuff with us.
