-- Tyler Durden
To say that China was "despotic" would, on average, be accurate. But then again, one must remember that a form of despotism where the despots are months away is very different from modern forms of despotism.
But the despots are still months away. The joke used to be that it took a Russian six months to organize a date with a girl because he had to clear it with the Kremlin. When Vietnam attacked Cambodia in 1978, it took the left a year to suddenly come up with a venemous denunciation of Khmer Rouge Cambodia - they could not react until the Soviet Union reacted, and it took the Soviet Union near a year to react. --digsig James A.
