You might want to take that up with a few Tibetans. I don't believe the Taiwanese are any happier about China's "meddling" either. BTW, our family lived in Taiwan for three years back in the early 60's, when ousted leader Chiang Kai-shek, leader of the Nationalist party who unceremoniously skedaddled over to Taiwan, (and who also in the process removed the indigenous government), still had illusions of grandeur of reclaiming the motherland. I'm sure the feeling was mutual on the other side. > (The fact that Iran is in Russia's back yard has had me scratching my head > over that one -- if I lived in Russia I sure wouldn't want Iran to have nuclear > arms, yet Putin doesn't give any indication of caring about the issue.) Yes, on the surface it doesn't seem very logical, does it. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.Zazzle.com/orionworks
