...message that hasn't reached most Chinese, who feel ambivalent about America after decades of anti-U.S. propaganda. The mixed emotions are apparent countrywide, even in a market in the city of Kunming, near Burma, where a vendor who usually sells parakeets and potted flowers now offers more contemporary ware?a ceramic model of the Twin Towers spouting flames and another of Osama bin Laden gripping a Kalashnikov. But he sells another sentiment as well. "Are you American?" he asks. "I've got your flag, too." Sure enough, he points to Old Glory hanging next to a mask...

Such propaganda hardly fits with recent signals of improved cooperation prompted by the Afghan war, but it is in keeping with a pattern. Whenever relations have become too cozy in the past, Iran's hard-liners step up their anti-American rhetoric...
