Dude sailed 30,000-man fleets from China to Sri Lanka, Arabia and Somalia. In the early 1400s. Kind of a badass.

His defense of extensive and extra-legal domestic spying is particularly interesting given his strong condemnation of the Soviet system.

The argument "it's okay when our governments do it because they are democracies" is intellectually dishonest to the point of absurdity.

Have you heard any truly shocking stuff about WW2? My friend teaches English in Japan, she told me that her Japanese high school students blame China for World War Two .

Full disclosure, I'm a yank living in China. Hear much about the Diaoyu/Senkaku islands?

Sorry if these questions make things overly political but I am curious.
