Reply #7: Not to mention a very large native Chinese population there.

[Old and In the Way]

Anyway, it's pretty absurd on the face of it. I was in China when we bombed the Chinese Embassey in Bosnia....except for a government sponsered demonstration in Guangzhou, I saw no overt acts of hostility to Americans, certainly not to me. They like Americans, they loved Bill Clinton, they don't like Bush....they've seen enough fascists/dictators in their time to know one when they see one.

This really bothers me. There is a much bigger game afoot and it has to do with:

(1) Making China the bad guy - they're not playing by the PNAC rules. I'll be watching to see how Pravda, I mean the republican corporate media play this story over the next few days.
(2) Creating more fear and divisions in the USA.
(3) Going after a Democratic stronghold.

This whole thing stinks. If a bomb goes off....what evidence will we have that it was the Chinese who did it?

And again, why not Houston???? If it's a war for oil, why not take the fight to the oiliest place in America?
