"It is such a novel proposition," Kissinger replied in his discussion with Mao in Beijing. "We will have to study it." >>>>

  jordan-
  im sure that was just henrys diplomatic way of sidestepping the issue without offending Mao. before you say he shouldnt have worried about offending Mao, remember the time in history. nixon was doing something groundbreaking in opening relations with china. whether ultimately that was a goof thing or not remains to be seen, but at the time it was hailed by both liberals and conservatives alike, although for different reasons.
  im sure the implication was "let us study it and we'll get back to you" .... obviously nothing ever came of it, and im sure neither kissinger or nixon ever for a moment gave it any consideration at all.
  on the other hand... asian women are sexy. and an extra 10 million single babes is never a bad thing ;-)
  wonder how many negs thatll get me, heh

Chinese woman are sexy?> I guess there are a few cute ones. But have you ever seen a Chinese porno? Probably not I guess. They don't even act well, besides the obvious things they need to do. Ut, oh, I am a racist.
