(NO FLAMES PLEASE - our GI's in 'nam faced a similar dilemma by knowing that at any time ANYBODY could come at you with a mind to kill !) My point is that these troops of the 27th experience was perhaps exploited by the hardliners in BeJing (North Capitol) in an attempt to disband the demonstrators via terrorizing force. Personally, I think they've failed miserably. ------- David Palkowski Jr. ICSA/Rice University
