Hi Louis; Long time no see. I still remember the
time we met in HK in 96 and had a few good laughs together. Hope all is well with you. Is
it also memorial day in Canada ? I have been watching the French Open today and now back
to see what is happening in the lab. I found all my colleagues in their office working
away. The French open has no effects on them. Not a good sign for them, perhaps, a worse
sign for me.
It is so nice to hear from you again (through Car sky car earth). I just want to emphasize
that when I wrote " some big countries are going to bomb Chinese cities in 5 or
10 years later" - I never thought of Chinese Embassy bombing in Yugoslavia. The
Chinese embassy bombing could be an honest mistake carried by NATO; I do not want to
discuss about it. However, I believe that the bombing should be stopped; too many
people are suffering for no reasons. I don't know if it was an honest mistake or not
that NATO bombed the Chinese embassy. But I believe the bombing of Yugoslavia has its
reasons, I don't know what they are. I aslo believe if the former Soviat Union was still
around and if Yugoslovia was still a memeber of that alliance, NATO would not have bombed.
In five to ten years and as long as China has nuclear and long range missile capability,
NATO would not bomb any Chinese cities, no matter what. This is my personal view of this
whole affair, and I don't believe there is justice in any of the these military actions
anywhere at anytime. It is all about money and power and, of course, oil. No one
governement really cares if the peopel are suffering, it is just not part of the
consideration.
There is apparently no oil in Yugoslavia, then why the military action ? I can only guess,
but what do I know ? One thing appears to hold true, one gets shafted easily if and only
if one cannot fight back with military might. Just look at Isreal, they believe in
"an eye for an eye". Only dumb guys like Iraq would fire Scud missile to mess
with them, and some of them bombed their buses.
An interesting story is unfolding in my lab in terms of nuclear capability, one of my guys
will be going to Los Alamos to do research for the summer. As a student of the UC system,
he has to be treated equally and has equal rights to conduct research at LANL. As a
Chinese student from the mainland, they have a hard time getting him in ( even outside the
fence).We shall see if they would really let him in comes early June when he arrives over
there.
