Raoul That was funny! Although your post got "bested" by a great followup from MrScot. Heh, I really did LOL.

 

So if the Chinese won't even let us talk to the 24 crew members until our government makes a full international apology for something we didn't do that makes them HOSTAGES, right? Or are we all to scared to use that term?

 

For insight into how the Chinese mind works and how they REALLY see us, read Clancy's, "The Bear and the Dragon." They are xenophobic, paranoid, two-faced liars, who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. Everyone is a "barbarian" in their minds.

We should have sent in a surgical strike and destroyed our plane on the ground, first thing.

I work for a company that just spent $2B in China. The Chinese come over here and we're training them how to do our jobs, so that they can go back and put us out of business. Its the american Mega-Conglomo way! Dont look out for Americans when theres an extra buck to be made. They just havnt figured out that the Chinese could wait until we're finished upgrading those factories over there and KICK US OUT WITHOUT EVEN SAYING THANKS!!. I'd laugh my a$$ off if that happened. Somehow the American workers would surely be blamed for thew wonderful business decisions. We usually do. Wow,, nice vent, huh??.
