>> The real enemy is war, not the racial compostion of the combatants.

Michael, You'll be very pleased to know that racial composition of combatants even applies to their clothing. The next step is that farmers in the US will not irrigate their farms with rainwater that evaporated from the ocean around Hainan Island.

The Pentagon issued a brief statement Tuesday night announcing plans to recall all Chinese-made berets that already have been delivered and distributed. It wasn't immediately clear how many of the 600,000 Chinese-made berets have been distributed.

Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz said in the news release that U.S. troops won't wear "berets made in China or berets made with Chinese content."

For once, we agree on something.

There are other lessons that people have not learned from WWII. One thing that's troubling to me is the current ban on possessing Mein Kampf in Germany. Apparently modern-day Germans (or at least their government) believe that book-burning is OK as long as it's Nazi books that are being burned.
