| This from the article:
"Taiwan, which split from China amid civil war in 1949, potentially is the most sensitive issue in U.S.-China relations. Beijing claims Taiwan as its own and has threatened to attack should the self-governing island make its de facto independence formal. Washington has hinted that it would go to war to protect Taiwan."
Settle down Dali Llama ....our troops are a little busy right now.
I saw this yesterday and all I thought was "DAMN ITS SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY"....WTF ? Since 9/11 it seems its one catastrophic event after another.
As I thought about it tho.... I decided altho the incident might be new, there is nothing new in the idiocy of our government. It just gets reported now...but then its sorta like when our LEO's stop a vehicle full of illegal contraband. For every one that gets stopped (speeding or improper equipment) dozens or more are smarter and get thru just by obeying the law.
So for every fubar that gets exposed ...how many do not?
Not just our government tho. How stupid is the Chinese government... for not letting a bunch of monks have a peaceful march......... before a Olympic event no less.
I don't know what boycotting that event would cause but should we or shouldn't we....?. Any thoughts ??
I got kinda off thread.... but one thing leads to another........lol
