So true.
WRT the views expressed earlier in this thread, I am interested - and disturbed - by this report:
China Officially Warns Japan Not To Infringe Its Territorial Sovereignty; Japan Reciprocates | ZeroHedge
"
China's top security official on Saturday made a surprise visit to Afghanistan, the first time in 46 years that a Chinese leader set his foot on the soil of this landlocked Asian country."
- interesting times, indeed.
