Even Chinese aren't safe in Iraq
As reported by today's Independent newspaper, seven Chinese nationals have been taken hostage by armed Iraqi militia. If the world needed any proof that the insurgents distinguish citizens from nations that opposed the war to one's that supported it, this event should put that fantasy to bed once and for all.
Of course, it is quite possible that the kidnappers assumed that their hostages were Japanese.
