Sure, John, a final off topic to you too. Everybody knows that Stalin was a murderous thug. That was settled a few years ago, they even had a destalinification thing inside the Evil Empire in the '60s. Of course, in the modern era we had old Jean Kirkpatrick's authoritarian/totalitarian thing, about how it was ok to back our murderous thugs because they wouldn't last as long as their murderous thugs. Fortunately for the eastern Europeans, where the thugs weren't all that murderous to begin with, and unfortunately for the citizens of countries where our murderous thugs still do their thing, that cute little theory didn't quite work out. Then, of course, there's your favorite, China, where the heirs to the murderous thugs that probably killed as many people as Stalin still hold power, but that's ok, as long as they are sort of capitalist murderous thugs. And, who are we to talk about political prisoners anyway, we got more prisoners than anybody, a great porportion of them from the war on (some) drugs, which is pretty political too. So it goes, as long as the Bills can figure out how to get China to pay for Microsoft software, all is well. Cheers, Dan.
