Sorry to be so late in responding. My internet was down at home.
250 thank you for correcting some of my ignorant thinking. I hadn't realized that your country was that open. especially after what we all saw happen
at Tienamin Square (sp). I was in shock when your government sent the tanks in against the peaceful students and academics that were demonstrating peacefully.
Still I have to ask if your family belongs to the party. You seem to have a lot of freedom when compared to what we hear in the west, through our news.
I really don't think we need to worry about war. I doubt seriously that we would
send in troops over this. This will be settled diplomaticlly. It would truely be a stupid thing to start a war over. I also don't think there will be an apology from us over this.
You all must remember something else about our government. We have three branches of government here. The Executive Branch which is the President, The Legislative Branch which is the House and Senate and the Judical Branch which are our judges. These Branches are all roughly equal in power. Bush runs the Executive branch. He will be under a tremendous amount of pressure from the House and Senate to take stronger action against China the longer this thing goes on. I don't think that would be military, but economic in nature. He will
resist it for a while, but not forever. There have already been calls for overturning China's Most Favored Trading Status in both the house and the Senate.
Have nice night 250.
