Comment:
Well - I did say I was no match for sheer eloquence.

This was a superb hyperbole.

However:
i) Whether I am Indian, British, Candian - or bless my socks - Iranian - is not, well not EXACTLY germane.
ii) I was quite clearly - when talking about China - referring to the discussion about CHINA TODAY. This is hardly a grammar matter.
I am quite happy debating Mao, but not in this way, and not at a time  when the discussion was about Saddam, or about "CHINA TODAY".
