I just read a 10 day old Saloman Smith Barney recommendation of AMAT as a BUY at 51. Hell, I said that and lost money, while their analyst made a fortune with his wisdom. OT OT My reading is that China is giving Bush the finger for his tough talk. They are showing how impotent that approach is. We'll never know, but it is my contention that this would not have happened with the better relations that Clinton had. They didn't fly so close or threaten our planes then. Also, how would we feel if they flew spy planes near our borders? fred

The last thing I want is a war, particularly with China. But we do have to get their attention to prevent war. If we let them get away with too much then they will go too far. This IMHO is a fact of life. It has ever been thus.
