"Isn't it amazing that we slam the media for exaggerating and glorifying bad news and yet certain digg users do just the same thing"Yeah, what's up with that? It's almost as if you can't generalize "The Media" or "Digg Users" as being large homogenous organisms anymore these days
I'm sure I'll get dugg down because this isn't what people want to hear...but...the Chinese have no intention or need to "attack" the U.S. in the traditional sense. They are currently doing it to the entire world with their economic muscle. Trust me...a huge amount of the Chinese economy depends on the U.S. and a good portion or the U.S. (and every other country in the world's) economy depends on China. The fact that they hold so much U.S. currency and so much of U.S. debt means that they *could* attack that small democratic rogue provence island off the east coast of the mainland and the U.S. would have to sit on their hands.
You don't poison pet food, you poison pets. And while Chinese manufacturers may have intentionally used these toxic additives to mislead chemical analysts about the composition of their product, I doubt their intent was to kill animals, or eliminate their customers, so technically, it's not poisoning."Chinese manufacturers deliberately contaminate pet food"
So, all conspiracy theories aside, they were merely trying to cheat the US like they do by stealing content through illegal copies of software, music, movies, etc. Sen sui -- the art of war -- lying, deceipt, stealing, etc. is alive and well and living in china! This is natural for them -- it is ingrained within their culture!
I don't know what to believe on this subject anymore the media goes from telling us its some chemical in some mach, to doing an about face, and blaming moisture, due to sprinkler failure and leaky roof, to back to blaming the Chinese. I'm going to chalk this one up as, we may never know.
Can't get too mad. If you piss off the chinese they might want all their money back now. and then what would we do? We don't even have enough to run the country. Wait the fed could just print some more, nevermind.

Pet food is only one problem...Cat and Dog food doesn't count for much in China, and apparently not here either since we have no real watchdog. Time to make you own dog and cat food folks!<a class="user" href="http://www.luvmycritters.com/Cat-Food-Coupon.html">http://www.luvmycritters.com/Cat-Food-Coupon.html</a>
