Bubba, do you think China will make it illegal to wear Taiwanese Green? I know Chinese, whether in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand, Peru, Japan, or anywhere else on Earth theoretically follow the unitary mindset of Yiwu the Mad and Bubba the Blathering, like so many ants, but I suspect they are actually human and not ants and have their own minds which might or might not be in harmony with the Year of the Feather Duster manoeuvres or the Taiwanese Green Democracy manoeuvres. I'm hoping for some serious fun in 2005. Autocratic Military Megalomania versus Democratic Taiwanese Green. Invasion of Taiwan by military megalomania would require actual hardware and belligerent 3D physical attack. Invasion of China by democratic green requires the transmission of whispery zephyrs of melded minds. I know which is easier and unstoppable. Hu Jintao could apply for a job as the first elected President. If he plays his cards right, he could just achieve that! He could draw Taiwan in to a national election by getting them to go for Green, then win an election for both on the basis of an overall constitution. He could invade Taiwan with a constitution and a Green revolution instead of a battleship and submarine fleet. He looks very electable. Mqurice

>>Where in Iran will you be? There is one area that's the origin of a religion that meld Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. I forget the name of that religion.<< You must be talking about the Bahá'í Faith. They've had a hard time under the Ayatollahs and Mullahs... The Persecution of Bahá'ís in Iran bahai.com

I'm in Tehran. You forgot best caviar in the world! It will take some time until I can explore the city and then the country. I intend to bring wife and daughter for the mid-year holidays for five weeks. Need to see Caspian Sea and Persepolis but can't show my daughter (she loves history!) the battle field where Alexander "The Great" Macedonian Phalanx defeated Darius II 2.500 years ago in the Gaugamela Battle. Can't cross into, Mosul, Iraq, whwre the battle took place, due to obvious reasons. Sheer carnage. Darius II lost 40.000 men on a single battle.
