Violence is NOT the answer to every problem . . .

That being said, the artillery barrage seems to have done some good.

Anything Shanghai can do, Beijing can do too. And we have artillery: http://www.china-briefing.com/news/2008/07/29/battling-persistent-haze-beijing-commences-cloud-seeding.html
Result? Blue skies for the first time in two weeks. Hooray!

Stan: I am so sorry if my post �hurt the feelings� of the residents of Beijing. Believe me, I had no such intention. I know that life in Beijing is hard enough without a Shanghai-based blogger racking up cheap points by pointing out the poor air quality there. Though no offense was intended, to make amends, please send me a picture of Beijing�s next official �blue sky� day and I promise I�ll post it.
