>Do know about or Did you Read about Pearl Harbor?
>Will China be the Next Country to pull a Pearl Harbor???

>Are we Americans as dumb as we appear or is just that we
>do not think? While the Chinese held our plane and its crew hostage,
>(they are free now, thank the Lord) presumably to get more time to inspect the
>plane, the media wrung its hands and criticized the Bush Administration

>Yet 70% of Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the
>Chinese should be suspended. Well, duh..why do you need the government
