I personally cannot say what can be done but there is already a focus on China's oppressed. But China is an ancient established empire. Already versed in warfare before the "West" was anything at all.

What's next. Let's see, there's a lot of fuss over Gadaffi at the moment. That's only going to open a can of worms. Nothing major there.

Nope. The next port of call has got to be China. But maybe not in our lifetime. There lies a big can of worms to be opened.

<t>I think that the more we keep remembering this day, 9/11, the more we further the concept of a cause, valid or not, and that worries me more than anything else. By itself, the remembrance furthers any cause for terrorism. From the pilots' point of view, well, these are highly trained p...

Let's see. How long have we had the Internet now? 8 years? More? And we still haven't realised its potential.

I should think that Murdoch could quite easily step into the world of espionage now if he hasn't already done so. He's already got trained employees masquerading as journalists.

I love the smell of growing mint when you brush past it. A flower garden in bloom is always a delight for the senses. The smell of a fruit cake baking in the oven. The coffee shops that grind their own coffee. The list could go on forever.
