LIES, DAMNED LIES, AND 22 MILLION CHINESE
The International Herald Tribune reported that 22 million Chinese people had signed an electronic petition to keep Japan from getting a U.N. Security Council seat. Now, I can think of a number of good reasons that neither Japan, nor Germany deserves to be on the Security Council. However, saying that 22 million people signed a petition in a country of 1.2 billion is not one of them. I mean, 22 million people is basically the size of New York metro and Los Angeles metro combined. However, China has more people than the entire Western Hemisphere. Thus, as they say, I am not impressed.
