China preparing their pilots for military action on the China-India border? Interesting. Should the middle-east hostilities erupt into a full fledged war, China would be in an excellent position to take advantage. The arab world against hte western world, the west wins. The arab world with support from China, and things suddenly aren't quite so clear.

Posted by: Revnant Dream at July 20, 2006 2:14 AMreminds me of a coast2coast show when someone mentioned the pictures of "aliens" of area 51 were suspiciously similar to Downs syndrome children. of course in those days things were very different...
