At any rate, I'd hate to ever find out that China is somehow involved. It would scare the crap out of me, and every proponent of freedom around the world.

The fact is, the Communist Chinese government is in bed with every one of the terrorist and terrorist-supporting rogue regimes (is it not now time that we dispose of the laughable "countries of concern" nonsense?) of the Middle East.

China's alliance with major rogue regimes has been so extensive and so well known for so long that it is absurd to pretend otherwise. Indeed, it is equally absurd to expect assistance against terrorism from a regime that has supplied nuclear and missile technology to Pakistan and Iran, chemical weapons materials to Iran, missile technology to Libya and air defense equipment to help Iraq shoot down U.S. pilots, all of which China has done.

Less well known is that the Chinese government is one of the foremost benefactors of Afghanistan's ruling Taliban, the focus of so much of U.S. attention since Sept. 11. Moreover, China is the largest foreign investor in Afghanistan.

On Sept. 11, Pakistan's Frontier Post reported that the Chinese and Afghani governments had signed a new economic and technical cooperation agreement. A defense cooperation agreement was signed in 1998 after Taliban officials allowed Chinese scientists to inspect unexploded cruise missiles that had been fired on Afghanistan in retaliation for Osama bin Laden's attacks on U.S. embassies in Africa.

After reading what Sen. Jesse Helms had to say, things are starting to look bleak. If a connection to Sept 11th is found, would the govt keep it under wraps in order to keep us out of a war with China, or would it make it publically known? And then, would we be willing to engage China? I have the feeling that even if it were made public that China definitely played a supportive role in 911, there wouldn't be much support for going after China, even in this country. Such a conflict would be huge, long, hard, and bloody. One then must ask the question: how many deaths does it take to get us to engage China?

China does not like the Northern alliance because it includes some of the same moslem ethnic groups who are opposed to Chinese control of Xinjiang. Their motivation for supporting the Taliban may be based on the principle that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" rather than a conspiracy against the United States.
