Scots40, re: "the China situation ..." I agree entirely. Even if GWB has to declare China's actions to be an "act of war", getting back our men and material is of paramount importance. The Chinese have a history of ignoring precendent and of respecting authority. Unfortunately, some of our Texan leaders have chosen to ignore those lessons.

All or nothing is something that the Chinese undertand well. "Tell your people to quiet the masses. Tell them to stay calm. I want your streets to be in peace before I speak ..."

And then, were I the President, I would give China 24 hours to decide between continuing trade -- or zero trade and the establishment of Taiwan (in balance with Israel) as the premier test sites for the latest in U.S. arms and weaponry.

Unfortunately, GWB gave his "China speech" today with all the character of an eight-year-old. He looked down, read the cards, turned his back, and then ran away from reporters (see the circulating news video at the LA Times and/or NY Times for details).

Folks ... you voted for this guy and I didn't. If you have changed your mind, maybe we could all write letters to his mom and get GWB to stand down and let his heart-attack-ridden V.P. run the country :-(
