Guess it would be stranger if Jewish religious items we being made by
Iran, Iraq and Lybia.

As a Jew who's traveled extensively in Iran, and who just returned from
Iraq a couple weeks ago, I can tell you there are small but thriving Jewish
communities in both countries. Iran has the largest Jewish population in
the Middle East after Israel. And I'm sure both would manufacture and sell
anything others would buy, just like China.

I was thinking more along the lines of the national commerce thing.

My dad's grand mother was Jewish (jumped ship over love to become
Catholic) and I hope my post did not upset too many readers. Yes, This
Jim Klein has a relationship to the tribe even though I was raised as
a Catholic, a fact that has cause no end of confusion on my part and
everyone I know. Of course my little friends at Loyola Highschool
never let me forget it. "Kleinstein" I lived with for 4 years.

I could have said "Souix selling toy tin US soldiers" but my distant
relative Gustav Klein was a 7th Cav U.S. Soldier who died on June 25
,1876 in Montana at the Litlle Big Horn River, so that would have been
as tasteless. His name is on the monument.

I like the folks from China, at least all who I have known. It just
seemed strange, that the US has so many things for
sale here and at such low prices and that are made in China.

No one seems to want to admit that we are benefiting from the work of
slaves, kids and prisoners.

So where are the Takahashi copies ?

Not to mention the filthy American Democrats who, if they win, will
sign onto Kyoto, a C02 emission control "treaty" that somehow forgot to
include China (#2 biggest polluter, soon to be #1) in it's control
mandates.
