While on the other hand, the U.S. is not at all paranoid about terrorism, but exceedingly even-handed and level-headed about it. They even have upbeat color codes such as orange, red, and what-not. I've heard that they are spending millions of dollars each week on a War in Iraq because some nuts from Saudi Arabia, who had trained in Afghanistan, are now hiding in Pakistan. Wise. They do not allow any votes to come up in the security council of the U.N. (in NYC) regarding anti-nuclear proliferation, nor banning land mines, or even stopping the production and deployment of munitions in space.

I like that "they created the VISA problem" reference. I and my wife cannot get a VISA approved for even a visit for my wife's sister from Beijing. She is 30. Married and employed in Beijing. Not white though. Looks kind of foreign now that I think about it... Denied by the U.S. consolate, not the PRC... "VISA problem." I think that ranks up there with 'how terrible of those red Chinese to ban crossbows and guns at the olympics...'

Stupid China-hating American.
