| From the Washington Times, commentary by Arnold Beichman on why we must provide Taiwan the weapons it needs to defend itself. Also from the Washington Times, Sens. Diane Feinstein (D-California) and Larry Craig (R-Idaho) provide an opposite view, at least on the Aegis armed warships. They call the ships "offensive" weaponry. How a system designed to blow up missiles before they wipe out your cities is anything but defensive weaponry is a mystery to me. From CNN, a sub-section of its Asia section, on the Dalai Lama. From Time Asia, why the ROC so desperately needs the Aegis missile tracking system. Feel free to forward this to anyone you think might be interested in receiving this.
