#1 I would love to see Islam open up another major front with China -- who I figure would be a bit more ruthless in their response.

That would be a worthy project for the CIA and our State Department instead of working against us.

#4 Just ran into this today. Timing is everything (2006). Looks like the Muhamheads have been planning for a bit.

#5 "Among the four individuals were foreigners, who are believed to be Eastern Turkestan elements."

I find this fascinating as the Chinese Government considers Eastern Turkestan (aka Xinjiang) as part of China. Either I've got things mixed up, they meant Western Turkestan, or this is an insight into the Chinese as those that aren't actually ethnic Chinese are foreigners. Possibly all of the above.

Wonder what this means for the Olympics truce.

Bingo! The Chinese view is that the land is China's, whereas the natives don't really belong there.

Rather like Tibet. Or maybe Iowa.
