#2 Why, since all cultures are of equal value, would Gordo criticize China for enforcing their own cultural values?

This leads me to the conclusion that Gordo's philosophy is not internally consistent.

#3 Until the BBCs "Have Your Say" comment section went down, there was NOONE supporting the drug mule.

"NOONE"? Is this a new word? Scottish, perhaps?

#5 Peter NOONE -- Herman's Hermits. They even did a song about Gordo: "Mrs. Brown You've Got a Luvly Daughter."

I thought in Britain you could call elections to dispatch of a turd like Brown.

Or is the Muslim drug mule constituency just too broad based in UK?

#6 Did Gordo ever read about the Opium Wars?

#7 NOONE = no one. Always glad to translate from British to American. ;-)

#8 Maybe I'm making some assumptions here, but isn't Urumqi one of the Uighurs' cities? And "Shaikh" doesn't sound too Welsh to me.

#11 ION SINA TIMES OF INDIA > [Indian] ARMY REWORKS DOCTRINE FOR WAR AGZ PAKISTAN, CHINA.

Proposed Highly Mobile, High-Techy BATTLE GROUPS capable of waging TWO-FRONT WARFARE AGZ PAK + CHINA, + ASYMMETRIC + FOURTH GENERATIONAL WARFARE AGZ MILITANT GRUPPES.

Sniff, sniff, reminds me of the debate oer AIRLAND BATTLE 2000, ETC. CONCEPTS DURING THE REAGAN-BUSH 1 ADMINS.

WMF > QINQHUA SCHOLARS: NEW CHAOS MAY BREAK OUT IN XINJIANG IFF CHINA PREMATURELY SENDS PLA TROOPS INTO AFHGANISTAN. PASHTUN, TAIJIK, UZBEK, AND BALOCH, OTHER ETHNIC MINORITY UNREST CAN AFFECT BOTH COUNTRIES. VIOLENT COUNTER-REACTION OF HAN CHINESE.

#12 The Brits had better get used to taking it from China.

If I remember correctly they didn't fuss an awful lot about losing Hong Kong, but got all panties wadded over this loser.....I guess there are some priorities that just cannot be undone.
