I remember it clearly, I was 17 at the time. While no where near as close an personal I just remember feeling incredibly powerless watching what was happening. I knew there was no way that the US, Australia or anyone else was going to attempt to intervene and risk starting a war against the world's largest standing army.

Very interesting tidbit of your Family History Semtex

You made me think of an article I read a few weeks ago, and I can't remember where...

Mainly it talked about how Nissan was looking into outsourcing a heafty portion of thier parts to China in order to shave overhead cost and keep bottomline profits up...I thought to myself "wow, even other asian countries have turned to Chine to save money"

Its so true though, because everthing we use as consumers in America stands a 95% chance of being "Made in China"
