Hello HMoon, <<Apparently not from a Chinese history text>> ... well, I meant any text book, HMoon, and any text book means just that, any. <<Mongolia having a right to claim all of China>> ... when have I ever disputed the fact that Mongolia can claim all of China? <<the Mongols ruled BOTH China and Tibet for much of their recorded history>> ... how long is recorded history, and how much is much? Are you learned? <<Iraq is no longer "occupied". It stopped being when 11 million Iraqis went to the polls and elected their own government, and that government requested the continued presence of coalition forces>> ... I think the Germans, with variation on a cheap theme, did the same machination in Hungary, and come to think of it, the Soviets same same, and that machination fools only the fools. <<The minute the Iraqi government says leave, we should.>> ... you are hedging. Very unbecoming. Much more manly to simply admit, an invasion is just that, an invasion. Rather than pulling a Clinton, defining sex as a variation of a handshake. <<The justification for being a "resistance fighter" ended when the Iraqi people voted for their first TRULY LEGITIMATE>> ... as Iraq slips into civil war, which of the many corrupt Iraqi authorities are you talking about. The one that took a check from you? The one that needs a foreign army's protection in order to stay in power? justified in "resisting" since you've been thrown out of power. ... odd, and here I thought anyone feeling having been invaded is justified in resisting. <<Yeah.. pre-1999, maybe.. But right now you're merely a convenient source of expertise in capital markets that the Communists in Bejing require. And you're a threat to the power of the ruling elite. All's well and good now because they need something from you.>> ... you are choosing to let ignorance shine through. According to you I am a threat to non-existent communists in Beijing, and yet, at the same mo they are my communists? Make up your mind. For that matter, 'communist'? what communist? By the way, are you saying the Heritage Foundation is wrong, and that HK is not the freest place in the galaxy, at least not since 1997? <<But go ahead and continue to believe that delusion>> ... delusion sure feels real enough; Perhaps I took the Matrix pill that was green? <<delude yourself into believing that another "cultural revolution" can never take place>> ... again, odd, do not believe I believe anything of the sort, but I at least do not have to suffer at the hands of the swaying fundamentalists attempting to change my culture state. Besides, I am fairly confident that the Culture Revolution will either not happen again in my time, or that I am living through one right now. Chugs, J
