SOUL BROTHERS IN CHINA FOR BUSH?

ON JUNE 28, Red China declared burning its flag a criminal act. There is historic significance here - a milestone in the parallel evolution of political ideation.

Enough political science. Actually, of real significance is the enhanced opportunity for President Bush et al. to submit resumes to the Chinese in 1992 - that's after the current administration combs our collective hair and pockets.

No doubt the Red Chinese would welcome any political veteran in tune with, say, imprisoning flag-burners or sending Hueys into every paddy and window looking for Uncle Ben's Green Rice. Considering the insidious erosion of freedom in our land, including the right to privacy, Red China should be encouraged to actively solicit our veteran practioners of Big Government. (I didn't make much money in Vietnam, but the Asian pay scale is awesome; ask Reagan.)
