Steven, how many freedom protestors have the Chinese government admitting mowing down and killing at Tinnamon square? How many do you suppose were tortured and then later killed in prisons all over the country?

One day the truth to how the Chinese government has been silencing political opposition will come out. Much like it did with Lenin.

<<I seem to recall a past administration selling missiles to a much more active enemy (Iran), using the proceeds to pursue a war which Congress had refused to fund against a country that posed no conceivable security threat to the US, and lying about that.>>

Jeez, from what I remember the IP spent twice as much as the current investigation and had NO indictments. And even if it was true when did we last have a problem with Iran since Carter? Did Iran have nuclear missiles aimed at the US? Aren't nuclear weapons falling on US cities a problem? What if your scenario is true and the US sold out dated missiles to Iran so a country could be free? It was so their children could live a better life.

Good point!!! And wasn't there a messy and inconvenient scandal about our boys selling drugs to buy weapons awhile back?
