CFIRC BREAK NEWS! AUGUST 14, 1999
- DAY 3 - MORE THAN SOVEREIGNTY UNDER ATTACK -
Ironically, on this day, a century ago (August 14, 1900) an
international force entered Beijing to put an end to the atrocities
being committed against Western victims of the Boxer Rebellion --
determined to purge China of "Foreign Devils" by any means necessary.
Happily for today's China, that's all down the memory hole. All residual
blame accrues to us for "permitting" a Chinese Head Tax or Asian
Exclusion League to ever exist. Questions like: which came first, the
chicken or the egg? are too complex for a people trained to enjoy the
sophisticated stylings of the Jerry Springer Show.

Iraqis and said two Indonesian crewmen from the boat had been arrested
for people smuggling. 'They will be prosecuted by the Department of

the law requires provincial taxpayers to carry the entire cost of
