The U.S.-China Standoff
Last week, China detained 24 Navy officers after their spy plane collided with a Chinese jet. What do you think about the escalating tensions between the two nations?
Ben Carlson,
Welder
"Tell me about it. One of my spy planes went down over China once, and I had a bitch of a time getting it back."
Bob Rolen,
Cashier
"If a Chinese spy plane crash-landed in California after knocking down one of our jets, I'm sure we'd give it right back."
Yvonne Goltz,
Librarian
"Can't we just send China a fruit basket or something?"
Richard Grolier,
Consultant
"Damn Truman! We should cross the Yalu River and invade the Chinese mainland! We must halt the spread of Communism at all costs!"
Will Franklin,
Systems Analyst
"And Bush was so close to world peace before this, too."
Gina Jeffries,
Violinist
"This is a great chance for Bush to show the world that he appears to be tough."
