Kenneth, MightyLakers has pointed out a few of your mistakes. It's funny watching rabid Yanks go off the deep end with their brains in a fit. Get a grip lad. There are no slave conditions in China. It's illegal to kill babies [which have been born - same as in the USA]. The USSR shot down the Korean airliner which was on a provocation mission. The Americans shot down the Iranian passenger plane and sank the Japanese boat. China didn't do any of those. China didn't bomb the USA embassy in Belgrade. China hasn't taken over the Panama Canal. I half think you must be joking and having a laugh at the USA expense by being ironical or satirical, but I think you just might be serious, which makes your comments even more funny. But at the same time, the Chinese planes were obviously at fault for flying too close to the USA plane and unreasonably restricting its manouvering room. So I don't see what the USA has to apologize for. China needs to be kept in a box and any idea they get of forcibly taking over Taiwan should be quelched before they get an overheated brain and think, like Saddam, that they might get away with taking over a nearby country. They need to be shown the door in Tibet. So I'm in favour of military flights along their border. If China doesn't like it, too bad. The Taiwanese don't want China taking them over, so I don't see why China need be given an inch. But be reasonable and at least accurate. A boycott by USA consumers of Made in China products would send the right message very quickly. China would NOT want to lose sales to the USA. That would be better than a political sanctions approach which would be damaging all round. I dare say it's already started! For example, I can't imagine any of those families [whose relatives are held in Hainan] buying anything Chinese just now. A lot of people would go out in sympathy. Mqurice
