Unfortunately, the commie government stranglehold
over the public in China is almost total.
Remember Tianannmen? Hundreds of students massacred
simply because they dared to protest against the
Chinese government's suppression of democracy and
human rights. And we have the audacity to talk about
Iraq?
Remember the Chinese oppression of Christian
worship in China till today? Try conducting a
prayer service or mass in China and you could
be in prison within the hour.
The systematic torture, persecution and oppression
of the Tibetan people, whose lands the Chinese
forcibly occupied, simply puts Iraq and Cuba to
shame. And now they want Taiwan to merge with
mainland china and they are prepared to use force.
This poor sod who is getting screwed by the Chinese
government has no way out. I think he will land up
in jail for another 20 to 30 years - that's what
happens to dissidents there.
After all this, Washington and London have the
nerve to complain about human rights violations
in Iraq ! Man, politicians are the scumdogs of
the universe (I think that's (c) Gwar ).

He's likely pavement, or soap.
Political spam (not to be confused with political pork) anyone?
Or is spam a greater evil?
Besotted minds want to know.
