In any case, I suspect the Chinese troops will be pulled out should they be unwelcomed, as would be indicated by a beheading, since they may be needed elsewhere more hospitable. So why not just leave now, if that's the extent of your dedication?? What are your soldiers for, if they are not willing to fulfill the mandate of the UN to separate the Israelis from Hizbullah and assist in preserving the soveriegnty of Lebanon. If all it takes is one Chinese soldier being beheaded to make you all turn tail and run, what a wonderful message you're sending to the Muslim Jihadists in Xinjiang province.. Btw, don't you all still arrest and jail political dissidents in Xinjiang province.. Isn't that a form of "disciplining"?? Let's see what y'all do in Xinjiang: hrw.org Wow.. what a wonderful "example" of how to deal with any form of Islamist militancy.. Doesn't make you guys much different than the US, except that you've annexed a terroritory populated by a people who have not ethnic linkage to the Han. Must be something about oil, I'd bet.. LOL!! journal.heinz.cmu.edu So TJ.. before you start casting stones at the US, it would be advisable to ensure you're not in a glass house. US foreign policy has not been perfect, but I DO BELIEVE that at the foundation of our foreign policy, we prefer that the nations we trade with and support be democratic. Of course, when we have to compete with Fascist regimes seeking to exploit nations for their own economic benefit, such as we're currently seeing with China, then sometimes we find ourselves getting involved with regimes that have no desire to reform, or work towards being democratic. But where possible, it has generally been the US policy to promote democracy.. And if our past has not been always been perfect towards fulfilling that goal, the future is a different story and we have an obligation to stop enabling these repressive regimes. Hawk
