HU's on First?

Millions of won-wons will be lost if we nuke Three Gorges Most will remember the controversy during Vietnam about bombing North Vietnam's dike system.  Would have caused a complete collapse of the North's ability to grow rice, and lead to starvation and capitulation.  Needless to say, we did not.  Worse, we announced that we would not. Fast forward. I watched the most fascinating  (2 hour long, I think) documentary on Planet Green last night, about building the Three Gorges Dam.   Yes, I know, this Discovery Channel  offshoot is devoted to selling every crackpot enviro-wacko plan on earth.  It's what Al Gore was prolly thinking when he started Current (which I hear is now showing Three's A Company reruns 24-7).  But I digress.  The first thing that struck me was what China was willing to do  in order to treble its industrial output with a super navigable Yangtze River.  1) Bury under water forever 5000 years of Chinese culture and artifacts; 2) Displace millions of their poorest  people who absolutely did not want to leave.  Our government won't even let us drill for oil.  But, this is the fun part, and what I wanted to tell you. The narrator noted that if the mile-long dam should collapse, it would kill millions, and send the Chinese economy back to the stone age (where it was before Clinton became president).  Ahem.  Hu ought be bowing to whom?
