More on the anti-Japan riots.
That Bush is even dreaming of allowing the Japanese a permanent seat on the security council shows, once again, that he gets nothing but downright boneheaded advice from the State Department's "Japan experts."
It's like taking astronomy lessons from the Flat Earth Society.
Nothing political happens in China spontaneously. It sounds like the Commies have decided to focus the tensions of the Chinese people on the Japanese. What have the Japanese done recently to cause such a reaction? Going back to the 1930's and 1940's doesn't cut it. China is a tinderbox today. They've had all kinds of riots, anti-tax, anti-corruption and commie. Are the commies trying to distract from the Pope John Paul II's death? The Catholic Church is oppressed in China and there's a chance a Chinese could be elected Pope (assuming the secret Cardinal is Chinese).
F**K China.
